My Father Has Terminal Lung Cancer We Wonder Why He Pulls At His Skin Quite Often?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It is my understanding that the person 'scratches' or 'pulls' as the skin it is because they are itching - which is a side effect of certain pain medications-- ie. Percocet etc.  As long as they are 'itching' the pain meds are working and they are not feeling any pain.
