Rash on hands and arm
When I was partially through Taxol (12 weekly rounds), I developed itchy, scaly outbreaks first on the backs of my hands and then spreading up my forearms. The skin between my knuckles became thick -- I called it "alligator skin." Nothing helped and my onc wanted to stop Taxol. I was determined to get every ounce of that stuff I needed, so I said "no."
Coincidentally, my daughter saw a piece on the news on our local NBC affiliate in Los Angeles. It was on a product called "Lindiskin" which had been developed specifically for chemo patients. This was not an infomercial, it was a news story. I looked it up on the internet & ordered both the body lotion & the lip balm. It helped me tremendously. When my hands & arms recovered, I gave the remainder to another chemo buddy. It helped her, too. By the way, I thought I would probably be left with "alligator skin" but I'm fully back to normal.

Good luck
