An onco dermatologist specializes in managing dermatologic issues associated with cancer treatments. Here are some detailed treatments they may provide:

  • Topical treatments: Prescription creams or ointments may be recommended to address specific skin or nail conditions caused by cancer treatments. These topical applications aim to soothe, moisturize, or treat the affected areas.

This collaborative effort aims to enhance the overall well-being of the patient during and after cancer treatment.
