For some background... I just took my 5th cycle of Folfox. On Tuesday after I came home with my chemo ball I had alittle irritated skin in my lower lady bits but nothing painful or swollen. I had my chemo ball for 48 hours, on Thursday it was removed. About an hour after having it removed my vagina went nuts. I'm swollen, irritated have lots of red ugly places that are raw to the touch. I called my oncologist and left a message about my symptoms but didn't receive a call back before they closed for the holiday weekend.
So for my question. Is this normal? How to treat it? I can't go to thier offices until Tuesday when they open back up I was hoping to avoid the ER but I'm in a bit of pain when I walk. Sitting or laying down I'm okay its only when I'm moving around that I feel its wrath. Any OTC meds I can get? Is taking showers and getting it wet a good thing? Please let me know if you had experience like this hiw to fix it. Thank you
