Skin and Nail Changes. Cancer treatment may cause skin and nail changes, such as dry skin, color change, darkening or brittle nails, and sun sensitivity.

Pro Tip. Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps, lotions and laundry detergents. Creams or ointments are thicker, and can be more hydrating tha lotions.

Shaving tips and tricks. 1. Gently wash skin with warm (not hot) water. 2. Apply shave cream or gel. 3. Use an electric razor or get doctor's approval to use a manual razor. 4. Moisturize skin and apply sunscreen.
