I have used Bag Balm and Udderly Smooth cream for my hands and feet. I didn't have any luck with my face except to reduce the mg of xeloda to 2000mg/day and tykerb to 1000mg/day. I also now do one week on and one week off for xeloda. My oncologist told me that the greatest benefit from xeloda comes in the first 7 - 8 days. So taking it after that just increases the side effects.
Hope this helps.
