Recommendation against dry skin when on Tagrisso

Thank you for sharing this. It took 3 years for anyone at Mayo to suggest anything but CeraVe or Vani Cream for treatment dry skin-. After 3 urs a wonderful hospital (!) nurse recommended Aquaphor. This works, too, but I’m guessing collagen is more beneficial. Again, thx!

Hope it helps you. It certainly did wonders for my wife.

You will see effect after 3 months and significant effect after 6 months

Our bodies make collagen from a diet rich in amino acids from protein in fish, bone broth, & meat.

Thanks for this. Collagen also helps with nail splitting - as do biotin gummies.

Is this recommendation for collagen to drink? What is recommended externally for extreme dry skin from Tagrisso?

Put in my recommendation, guess it didn't go through. Glacial Base Moisturizing Cream purchased at pharmacies or Costco works wonders.

Correction: Glaxal Base (not Glacial). Sorry!

The specialty pharmacy sends me Udderly Smooth, Extra Care , 20% Urea hand and body cream with every batch of Tagrisso. The Urea is what our skin is missing. Use it every time you wash your hands, take a shower, etc. It's a god send. Doesn't do much for the weak nails though. I just keep mine clipped very short.

I think you can get the lotion online, at walmart, etc. Some grocery stores and drug stores probably carry it as well.

Welcome @mtkitty, thanks for sharing what's working for you. That's great that your specialty pharmacy includes this cream. How long have you been taking Tagrisso?
