Glossary Skin Toxicities

adverse skin reactions from medications or environmental exposures

Skin toxicities refer to adverse reactions or damage to the skin caused by certain medications, treatments, or environmental exposures. These can include rashes, dryness, itching, redness, and more severe conditions like blistering or peeling. In the context of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or targeted therapies, skin toxicities are common side effects that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and may require medical management.
