Skin Side Effects of Colorectal Cancer: What You Need To Know

Rash, dry skin, nail changes, and other skin side effects are common during colorectal cancer treatment, but many people don’t know what to expect until they’re in it. These changes can affect your comfort, your confidence, and your daily life, and they don’t always end when treatment does.

Hear from Dr. Carlin Callaway on what causes skin side effects and how to manage them, and from Fight CRC Ambassador Sydney Stoner on what it’s really like to go through them during treatment. You’ll learn:

• Why chemotherapy and targeted therapies affect the skin, hair, and nails
• Common skin side effects, including rash and hand-foot syndrome, and when they usually start
• Ways to prevent and manage skin side effects during treatment
• When to call your care team or ask for a dermatologist referral
• How to care for your skin after treatment ends and what long-term changes to expect
• Tips from a patient on products, routines, and talking with your care team

Whether you’re starting treatment, in the middle of it, or supporting someone who is, this webinar will help you feel more prepared. Bring your questions for live audience Q&A.
