Breast cancer and its treatments affect both the body and the skin, causing skin alterations that require specialized attention. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy produce side effects on the skin, such as xerosis, hyperpigmentation, erythema, and loss of elasticity. These conditions can significantly impact the patient's quality of life, making it essential to implement integrative care that addresses skin needs.
Effects of Oncological Treatments on the Skin
- Xerosis (dry skin): Reduction of sebum and lipid production, increasing dryness and the risk of infections.
- Hyperpigmentation: Some chemotherapeutics and radiation therapy can cause spots and irregular pigmentation.
- Erythema and Telangiectasia: Redness and small dilated vessels are common in areas treated with radiation.
- Fibrosis: Chronic skin damage that affects elasticity.
- Photosensitivity: Increased sensitivity to UV rays, accelerating premature aging.
