I used aloe, but not from a fresh plant. I bought 100% aloe with no alcohol from the store. I kept it in the fridge, it felt so good. The burns are sadly kind of normal. Probably 75% of the people I have known, have had burns. Lymphadema could happen if you get an infection, if the burns are open you have to be very careful with them. Are your burn blisters or open wounds or is the skin intact?

Honestly this sounds like such an unacceptable treatment and the researchers need to get on the ball and start looking for safer ways to treat cancer patients this is ridiculous at this point

Open, I saw my radiation oncologist this morning he lambasted me for using aloe and didn’t recommend it said it could have bacteria that could cause infection. I explained I used tge leaf of the plant washed if in hot water and soap, sterilized my knife before I slit the leaf to get tge. Atrial gel out, He was firm I was not to use aloe even though it soothed it when the doctor who substituted for him said it was ok. I think some of this might me cya if I get an infection because I have been report the pain from the burn and was given cotizone cream recommended by the nurse and prescribed by the other doctor. Tgey said it could also cause lymphodema,again I wonder if pa rot of this is cya in cAse I do get an infection.
