A New Therapeutic For Chemotherapy Induced Skin Damage

NEW YORK - June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Male or female, young or old chemotherapy will make the skin dry and lips chapped because these drugs interfere with the skins oil and sweat gland function and the renewal process of the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis skin layers. Skin, nail and lip damage is a consequence, an adverse treatment affect of chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy also damages the rapidly dividing basal cells of the lips, contributing to dry, chapped, sore, and eventually bleeding lips. In addition to discomfort, extremely chapped lips (medical term cheilitis) and fissures (tiny cuts) increase the risk of infection in cancer patients.

Additionally, because cancer treatment is administered in cycles (on and off over months) impaired healing and accumulated toxicities from previous treatment makes skin, lips and nails more vulnerable to subsequent damage.

DaSomá is a medicinal therapeutic skin cream and lip balm specifically formulated for cancer patients exposed to chemotherapy and/or radiation.

Cancer Treatment Dermatologic Toxicity

Skin cells continuously replenish by dividing within the dermis (middle), skin layer and then sloughing off older cells through the epidermis (top) skin layer. Cancer treatment induced dermatologic toxicities and subsequent disruption in the skins renewal can result in symptoms that include dry, irritated and/or itchy skin and tenderness, redness and rash due to inflammation within the skin layers.
