Thank you so much for your response. Yes, the Benadryl and OTC Hydrocortisone do help. I am wondering if this will continue foe the remaining treatments.

I used vanacream to help with the dryness. I talked to my oncologist and he said take Benadryl, but I really couldn’t take it and function during the day.
I did use cortisone, and even lidocaine roll on, I used the one put out by aspercreme, but mostly I slathered on vanacream and tried not to scratch.
Have you talked to your doctor yet?
