Have you tried B 6 for the neuropathy?
Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion is good for skin issues. It has oatmeal which is good for skin.
You can even find Aveeno bath products with oatmeal to soak your feet. It is very soothing and relaxing.
Another suggestion is calendula salve. Calenula is a flower in the marigold family.
Also if you can get some aloe vera jell or use some of the natural jell from the aloe vera plant that would be good too.
Stay alway from cosmetics with fragrances and alot of preservatives. Do not wash your hands or dishes in very hot water. Use lukewarm or cold water. You may even want to change your laundry and kitchen dish soap.
Think twice about stopping Herceptin !!
All the best to you. Take good care of yourself.
