  1. Tank you as always- also I think you will like this- I saw a guy in the pool turning red and told him- I hope you are using sunscreen! He said “I am not a sunscreen person” and I said “oh that’s right only certain people are”- and he said “Which people?” and I answered “People who have SKIN!” He was hurting so much the next day…πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

    1. OMG πŸ˜‚ β€œ I saw a guy in pool turning red β€œ I was drinking tea and choked laughing reading this , after clicking β€œread more β€œ I got to know the whole context of what you actually said .

    1. Happy Tuesday to you. I am doing well and hope the same for you 😊😊@@whitneybrown4067

  2. La roche posay has a cancer skincare line. The bodywash in it is amazing and has been a saving grace for my eczema. I hope this information helps someone out there. Wishing everyone a quick recovery from whatever you are struggling with. ❀

    1. @@betsyanastasi6780 some of the products in the lipikar and toleriane lines have been tested on cancer patients. If you Google lrp cancer they have a page with more info. I use the lipikar syndet.

    2. You can select the line on the site but the products are their dry skin/extra dry skin products (products Dr Dray has reviewed previously).@@betsyanastasi6780

  3. So glad you are talking about this. I recently went through Chemo and could find very little info. I didn’t know if I could use my tretonoin or other face care I had been using. Thank you πŸ‘πŸ‘

  4. I am so happy you decided to tackle this topic. You brought up some issues I wish I knew when I went through chemo – such as the immune system issues that are distinct from just typical dry skin. I hope you decide to address the specific concerns that result from radiation and immunotherapy. Thank you so much for making this video.

  5. for the past 15 years my Mom has moderated a cancer support group. As time has passed its harder to get experts in various fields to give informative talks. I find this video to be very informative and am going to suggest Mom links it for all her members. I know one covering radiation therapy would be quite welcome as well. Thank you!

  7. My mom passed away from cancer when I was in my early twenties. She went through chemo and radiation before she passed. Wish I had known these skin tips when she was going through treatment. Thank you for addressing this important topic. Chemo is hard enough and if this can help even one person be more comfortable it’s worth it. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a peaceful evening. πŸ’ž

  8. It would also be good to address skin care during radiation treatment. As a breast cancer survivor, I can attest my breast, chest, and neck took a beating during my course of radiation. Thanks for all you do!

  9. Yes, thank you for this!!! I would love one on radiation as that is next after surgery. I have found as we are treating for cancer earlier there is not a lot of helpful and RELIABLE information out there. Thanks for breaking it down and explaining. Super appreciate this!! ❀ And always enjoy the videos.

  10. Packed with thoughtful advice, I especially appreciate all on hands & feet.

    In various hair loss videos you’ve touch on chemo effects so I understand why you left that out here. I’m hoping at some stage you’ll mention hair thinning as a side effect from anastrozole, a hormone-related chemotherapy pill for post menopausal women following other breast cancer treatment. Usually it’s taken daily for 5 years. I’m looking forward to completing the 5 years next month and HOPE my hair & brows will thicken up a bit 🀞

  11. My spouse developed eczema from head to toe during his treatments. Dermatologist gave him cortisone. Did not help made it worse. His skin is oily… so my spouse did not understand the need to hydrate his skin. La roche posay toleriane helped. But he was still trying the cortisone. It was worsening. I have eczema… and when I have a flare up I use raw coconut oil and it works very fast for me. One night i said let’s test… one leg we apply coconut oil and the other leg cortisone. The next day his flare up had improved greatly on the coconut leg and the cortisone leg was really bad. This convinced him. Coconut oil for inflamed sites and lacroche posay toleriane the rest of the time. Used toleraniane cleaner. It worked.

  12. YESSSS!!! Dry skin. Dry EVERYTHING!!! I used your tips on winter skin care to help, and Vaseline was my BEST friend!!! Many layers of great hydraters! My favorite was Sukoyaka Suhada. Followed by Cereve cream, and then Vaseline. It helped a lot. Thanks Dr. Dray. You save my poor skin. ESPECIALLY after radiation as well!!πŸ’œ

  13. Thank you for this info! I had chemo, surgery, and radiation. A video on skincare during radiation would be such a help. Chemo does a number on the immune system, and can make you more susceptible to nail fungus. Also, some chemo can cause peripheral neuropathy. That changes how you perceive heat/cold and can lead to burns easily. I had both issues, so info around those topics would help people going through treatment. Thank you!

  14. Thank you so much for this information. I especially appreciated the section that addressed targeted therapy for people who are EGFR positive.
    Yes, please, to making one on skincare during radiation. You are wonderful!

  15. i wish all cancer patients so much strenght and inner will to heal. thanks Doc for all info she gives.

  16. I was lucky and didn’t experience this skin issue. I had six chemo treatments for endometrial cancer. Going on eight years cancer free.πŸ™πŸΌπŸ’œ
