What did you do to help radiation burn?

Hi, I had a similar reaction. when dealing with burnt area of my underarms following radiation. All the cream medication the oncologist prescribed did not work. I used nothing besides s Tylenol to ease pain. IT really didn't help. My Oncologist finally suggested I. try a teaspoon of the best grade manuka honey from reputable Certified Organic honey growers who do not use any pesticides on their bee harvesting operation.
My oncologist wanted to see if Manuka honey in small amount on one spot of my burnt area would facilitate the beginning of any improvement. We had hope.
Within 2 days I could see remarkable results and this was the beginning of healing . The burnt skin lifted and pealed off. I had new pink healthy skin. Slowly the tenderness on pink. area of my raw skin under my underarm swas not raw. This area was very sensitive an tender yet the goal was to keep it clean at all times. IT worked on me. I don't know if this would be the same reaction on other people. I concluded that the manuka honey worked in my case. My doctor also stated. he was convince that the manuka honey helped a great deal to be because it had properties not harmful to the skin. So, yes this honey is organic and how can that hurt? HONey oh yes was tested before use for bacteria. None was found.
I was so exhausted of being in pain I decided to try this holistic treatment. It worked. The application was however very gradual as not to encourage any kind of infection or bacterial growth. I wish I had filmed the gradual improvement. I was crazy out of my mind with pain and refused narcotics. Training the brain to deal with physical pain is not easy but doable.
By luck, I met a former military vet who showed me different methods to refocus my brain while I was in pain. HE got me to count dots on a ceiling tile over and over again and to calm my thoughts, to focus and concentrate. HE had me repeat I am strong, I am healing and I will grow new skin.
Perhaps this was a form of self hypnosis.? I really don't know.

HE explained that while in capture in Viet Nam he and other captured soldiers were able to deal with some of the inflicted pain from torture and battle injuries. They were not given medical help or any medical treatment.
You may want to ask your dr about using Manuka Honey which I understand is used to treat severe burn patients and infections from different kinds of injuries, insect bites or skin conditions. I learned it is also used on severly burnt patients. Pure 100% Manuka Honey gave me visible improvement. THE burnt area lifted an later pealed off When skin was pink and healing , antibiotic cream combinded with the honey made a visible difference. As I mention little at a time was applied.
Best of Luck, Did radiologist perhaps give you strong radiation treatment? I would inquire or ask another radiologist as a second opinion for my own peace of mind. Best of Luck
