That would really be the best person to advise you in this situation. No one online knows your entire medical history and what the proper treatment plan for you is and what may or not be safe.

I have had a bad skin reaction to the treatment. My skin is dry, itchy, scaly and sore. Can anybody suggest anything to help calm and reduce my reaction?

There are certain medications, or topical applications that may help, but most are processed through the liver, so they could potentially cause you problems. Have you talked to your doctor about it?
