@besissy I am so sorry that I somehow missed your original post. I have not been diagnosed with vulvar melanoma so I cannot offer you any helpful suggestions for radiation treatment. I going to tag @canadaigua @kanderstag and @caga These members all posted in our support group about their experiences with vulvar melanoma and they may have suggestions.
Here is another discussion group on this topic:

https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/vulvar-melanoma-treatments/Twenty treatments means 4 weeks of radiation and you are now in week 2? The things you have tried including sitting backwards on a bidet sound soothing. How creative of your husband to bring the bidet home for you to use!!
When will you meet with the radiation oncologist or the nurse? I had pelvic radiation for endometrial cancer and met weekly with my radiation oncology team who were very helpful in guiding me through the process.

Just wanted to wish you well as you continue your radiation treatments. I also had some bad burns from my radiation treatments and saw my radiation oncologist and the nurses each week. The nurses were great in giving me creams to help and they included Aquaphor, Calendula, and medical grade honey. We all agreed the honey helped a lot. I also had severed burning on urination and the team taught me to use a squirt bottle of warm water while urinating to help dilute and lessen the burning .
I hope this helps The good news is about 2-3 weeks after the last treatment, I was feeling much better and the symptoms were pretty much gone. Good luck to you as you continue your treatments!
