| Chemotherapy and
radiation can change your skin – make it dry, itchy, flaky
or irritated. A few simple steps in the morning and at night can
help you look healthier. |

| During treatment, when
you are at risk of bleeding and infection, your doctor may suggest
that you switch to an electric razor to prevent potential cuts.
Warm skin first with water or hot towel and rinse afterward with
cool water. Avoid alcohol, menthol or strong fragrance. If you
feel you must use a manual razor (discuss with your doctor first):
keep it sharp, always rinse after use, and shake off excess water
without wiping. Soften hair follicles with shave gel, leaving it
on your face for about one minute before the first stroke. |
