Dr. Singhal’s Tips on How To Relieve Sensitive Skin Of Itchiness And Dryness
As anyone with painfully dry skin can tell you, a good stockpile of skin-care products is super important for keeping distress at a minimum, and skin hydrated and content. In this blog, find out which new products worked the best for dehydrated skin for patients who struggle to deal with skin dryness, and discover what best-suited your skin type.
Deciding On The Right Moisturizer For Your Skin
Quality moisturizers can help relieve and repair dry, itching, and irritated skin. But with so many moisturizers on the market, how do you find one that works for you? It usually comes down to a matter of personal preference. You may choose to have a few on hand to suit your various needs.
Causes Of Dry Skin
Dry skin is a common side effect of cancer treatment. Both chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause dry skin. Management of dry skin includes using moisturizer, avoiding things that make the symptoms worse, and protecting your skin until it returns to normal. There are many causes of dry skin, but for cancer patients, treatment is often a cause. Your skin cells are constantly renewing themselves by dividing rapidly into the deep layers and sloughing off the old cells at the surface. Dr. Shyamali Singhal says that both chemotherapy and radiation can disrupt this process, resulting in dry skin and other skin reactions.
Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy works by destroying cells that grow rapidly, a characteristic of cancer cells. Unfortunately, chemotherapy also affects normal cells that grow rapidly, such as skin cells.
Radiation may also cause your skin to be dry and flaky. Skin reactions that are caused by radiation usually occur 2 to 3 weeks after radiation therapy begins and can take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
Tips On How To Fight Dryness Of The Skin
Here are some of the ways Dr. Singhal advises you to fight the dryness of the skin:
Add mineral or baby oil to warm bath water, or put it on after showering while skin is still damp. This can make you and the floor slippery, so hold onto something when you’re moving around barefoot.
Wash with cool or warm water, not hot water.
Avoid scrubbing the skin during showers or baths. Gently pat skin dry after bathing.
Put on moisturizing, alcohol-free creams twice a day, especially after baths.
Avoid colognes, after-shaves, and after-bath splashes that contain alcohol.
Use an electric razor.
Drink 2 to 3 quarts of liquid a day, if you’ve been told by your doctor it’s OK to do this.
Protect your skin from cold and wind. Avoid hot water and heat, especially dry heat.
