What can I do for sores in my mouth?
In addition to all of the above, ask your doctor about a broad spectrum probiotic. Depending on the type of cancer and medication you are taking, these can be either very helpful or not advisable if they interfere with the treatment protocol.

What is desquamation?
Desquamation is the natural shedding and peeling of the outermost layers of the skin. When there is damage to the skin or this process is interrupted or changed, there may be additional shedding and peeling.

Excess desquamation my result from a skin injury or a side effect of some chemotherapy treatments.
