Can painful callouses on feet be a side effect of R-CHOP chemotherapy?
While painful callouses aren't listed as a typical side effect of R-CHOP, the treatment can cause several foot-related issues that might contribute to your discomfort.
R-CHOP can cause:
* Numbness, tingling, or pain in your limbs (peripheral neuropathy)
* Swollen limbs
* Dry skin
These side effects might change how you walk or put pressure on your feet, potentially leading to callous formation. The numbness or altered sensation could also make existing callouses more painful or prevent you from noticing pressure points that develop into callouses.
It's important to mention this to your healthcare team. They can evaluate whether the callouses are related to your treatment and suggest ways to manage the discomfort. They might also check if the pain is actually from nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy), which is a known side effect of the Vincristine in R-CHOP.
Don't hesitate to bring up any new or worsening symptoms with your doctor, even if they seem unrelated to your lymphoma treatment.
