Abstract

Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE), also called to as hand-foot syndrome (HFS) or hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), is a cutaneous complication in patients receiving some oncology drugs. It often makes normal daily activity impossible, it deteriorates the patient’s quality of life and frequently limits chances of effective treatment. There are several approaches to ameliorating the symptoms of this complication. The purpose of the paper is to systematize and present information on PPE (HFS/HFSR), prevention and conservative treatment recommended in cosmetology procedures.
