I had hogkins lymphoma cancer but can't stop itching any ideas?

Hi Becca Louise:





If you had Hodgkin lymphoma, then my guess is you had chemotherapy as well. Sometimes your treatment (chemo or radiation) can lead to changes in your skin and results in dry, itchy skin. However, it's also a classic symptom of Hodgkin lymphoma. In either case, call your medical oncologist and schedule an appointment for a discussion and exam.

yes scratch an itch
Reply:Your skin is probably dry from the radiation or treatment. You should use a lotion that is mostly Vitamin E. That's what I did and it helped a great deal.
Reply:It may be recurring. I'm not trying to scare you, honestly. But, itching is a symptom of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Any night sweats? Weight loss? Just have your doctor check it out.
