Cutaneous Lymphoma Skin Relief
Cutaneous lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in white blood cells (T-cells) that affect the skin. It can cause rash-like skin effects such as redness, itching, slightly raised scaly patches on the skin, thickened skin, cracks in the skin, darkened skin, and sometimes skin tumors. Treatments can include skin creams, light therapy, radiation therapy, and systemic therapies including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and retinoids.
The side effects from cutaneous lymphoma can wax and wane, where sometimes the skin effect flare, and sometimes they are more quiet or clear. The more you understand and prepare for these effects, the easier your journey will be.
