Brush your teeth gently after eating and at bedtime with a very soft toothbrush. If your gums bleed, use gauze or your finger instead of a brush. Use baking soda instead of toothpaste. Make a mouthwash with teaspoon baking soda or salt in 1 cup warm water and rinse several times a day. Avoid spicy, crunchy or acidic food.
Hair loss is rare with procarbazine.
Your hair will grow back once you stop treatment with procarbazine. Colour and texture may change. Use a gentle baby shampoo and soft brush. Avoid hair spray, bleaches, dyes and perms. Darkening of the skin occurs rarely.
