Does Continuous Shots Of Lovenox For Colon Cancer Cause Itching Sensation?
My Husband is fighting stage 3C colon cancer. He finished his first round of chemo (folfox) about one month ago. He had blood clots and has been on warfarin or lovenox shots continually for 4 1/2 months. Here's the odd question... We hadn't made love in 3 1/2 weeks as we were staying w/ our kids & grand kids. Immediately after I started itching. I believe it's yeast. Could there be a connection from his meds and my situation? It truly was immediate, no prior issue. Thank you for your help.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the itching problem is not due to the medicine but it could be because of age, the dry area is the main cause of itching, you can use hormone containing cream, available on counter, take care and have nice day.
