Power port discomfort and skin reaction

$

Hello everyone. 

I am new to this forum. 

I have a question about the power port and some discomfort around it. It was placed in me about a month ago and had 4 chemos done through it alreday. The skin around it became very itchy, itrritated and red. I asked my chemo nurse and all she said to wash it and put some odorless lotion on it. I am taking shower daily and it's clean and I did put some lotion and even some cortizone but the itchiness is not going away and it's very annoying. I have very sensitive skin, I must add. I will be a long journey for me and I don't want to have this discomfort for the next severl month.

Has anyone experienced similar problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

Lana
