For many years now, cancer treatments have become more effective, offering patients new perspectives in terms of prognosis, disease progression and quality of life. However, these therapeutic innovations are often accompanied by side effects.
Dryness, irritation, itching... Some cancer treatments are associated with a wide range of cutaneous side effects affecting the skin, hair and nails. Each effect considerably depends on the type of therapy used.
These problems can be a source of discomfort and significantly alter the quality of life, both physically and psychologically.
Are you at a loss when it comes to this situation? Many easy-to-use dermo-cosmetic solutions are available today to help you manage these skin problems.
Our commitment is to help you reduce and alleviate the side effects of cancer treatments, to support you in rebuilding your life once the treatments are over and to restore your self-esteem.
