What did you do to help radiation burn?

I’ve been using Avene spray. I had 10 treatments, hardly any side effect. Starting using Avene spray right away.

This is an old post and I hope you found something that helped. I am replying because someone else who needs this advice may see it. I had significant burns after radiation to my breast and my daughter found the perfect remedy. She cut a leaf off the aloe vera plant, split it open and scraped all the insides of it onto a piece of gauze and put it over my breast. It was instant relief for me. She did this every two to three hours for the first two to three days and by the fourth a new skin had formed. It was the such a gentle and painless healing and did not cost anything 🙂

Could you just use Aloe gel?

Thank you! Corey

I found fresh aloe vera more effective. I used fresh aloe vera during radiation treatment right after each session and had no burn. I made a mistake of stopping right after the last treatment and developed light burn after. I think we’re supposed to continue for at least 2 weeks after.

I used Jean’s Cream before, during and after my 3 weeks of radiation. No rash, no burns, no dryness. It’s available on Amazon

I used aloe gel, I found one that didn’t have alcohol in it. I kept it in the fridge at work and put a little on whenever I thought of it.
I am sure there are benefits to fresh but not everyone has access to an aloe Vera plant.

I used Aquaphor because I had some and the nurse said that would be fine.

I used Aquaphor recommended by the radiologist.

Por sugerencia del médico usé una planta que tenía en mi casa creo que es de la familia de los cactus. Unas hojas alargadas con dos o tres tonos de verde que no tiene ninguna espina. Al abrirla se ve que contiene muchísima cantidad de una sustancia gelatinosa que se puede retirar fácilmente con una cuchara o un cuchillo. Y después de cada radiación me pasaba eso y dio mucho resultado a pesar que el radiólogo había decidido hacer las aplicaciones en menos tiempo que el aconsejado por el médico pero con mayor intensidad de radiación. Esa práctica me resultó.

Yes, fresh aloe gel from a leaf. Score it on the sides, take skin off and cut into blocks to put in fridge.
To sleep, Lily of the desert 99% aloe vera gel.
Apply the fresh or Lily every 20-30 minutes.
Every day radiated and after, at least a week.
I have Absolutely no burn. Skin like a baby.
