@meghan13, I hope you saw the helpful posts from @tapgirl and @hopeful64. I moved your question about treatment for radiation burn to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with others who had radiation for breast cancer.

My doctor gave me a prescription for the Burns and also a petroleum jelly cream. I had to put the petroleum jelly on twice a day and the prescription on once a day don’t have the names of them, but you should ask your doctor. I think it’s ridiculous when they don’t give you something to help you knowing that you’re gonna probably have Burns. They also gave me a heart pillow that was stuffed and had a shoulder strap so that I could put it under my arm to help me sleep after surgery. I thought it was brilliant. 🤗
