Has anyone suffered from itchy skin. My arms and legs are itchy from time to time and the skin must be delicate as I've scratched it and it starts bleeding, then I've scabs on it. Driving me mad. Finished chemo over a year ago and rads in May.

Thank you. When I scratch it , it bleeds easily. I suppose it's all the affects of treatment. Other than that I'm fine thank God
Hi Wicklow Lady,
I do occasionally get itchy skin, but since radiotherapy when I was advised to used aqueous cream I have continued to used it ( I plaster it every where) and I am sure it helps. my skin gets very dry if I forget, and then it gets itchhy. I am 2 years out now
