Suggest Treatment For Dry And Itchy Skin In The Genitals
Question: Hello,
I am inquiring for my older brother. He recently went through Renal failure and a stint was put in to resolve the issue. He had very dry, itchy skin before and during. While being tested, they discovered his prostate cancer returned after 10 years. It is now in his hip bone.
Now that his renal issues appear to be controlled and he is being treated for the CA, his skin is very dry. His nails have become brittle. He never sweats anymore. He appears to be putting off the investigation of the issues.
