@frantik223, I moved your post to this existing discussion where you can connect with members like @brighterdays @cancerwifemom @cjs123172 @conk @pinkybabar1962 @dlmdinia who used the cold cap. I'm not sure if they used the socks or mitts:

Did you share about her feet with her care team? I'm wondering if the socks may have been too cold for her or on too long. Did she experience anything similar from the cap or mitten?

I used socks and mitts. One time, I kept the mitts on too long and had redness on my hand. The next time, I removed them more times during the infusion and I was fine.
