skin mets

Jessica29

Looking for some advice please re my skin mets.

They stopped responding to tykerb/xeloda, I was on a trial here in England.

During the lull in changing treatments (now on aromasin and back on herceptin) they progressed a little more and are in fact worse than before any treatments!

One of them began to blister and (must admit I put some antiseptic cream on it) it split and bled then healed over. Today the scab came off in the shower it's been a little sore but is mending.

I'm due back at clinic on Monday 1st June to see onc and have next herceptin.

Is there anything I can put on this tiny met to dry it up in case it blisters again or do I leave well alone?

Many thanks

Leave it alone and don't cover either.  I have several open wounds from my IBC there is a cream you can put on but it is for prescription only. This only treats top layer and not below.

Thanks for that floridalady

 Could you tell me the name of the cream?

I'm being treated at the London Marsden and would like to mention it.

Aldara 5% cream

You apply once a day for 5 days, wait week and do it again.

Another cream you most get from Germany is Miltrex (spelling?)
