Several oncologist's at my center have been using low dose nicotine patches to combat neuropathy - seems to be working for the people I've spoken to....talk to your onc!!!

Maryanne, this is news to me! I'll be sure and ask my onc about this, as he's always interested in new ways to combat side effects. Thanks for in tip!

Do you mean the patches stop the peeling and redness?
