This is what my radiation oncologist suggested that I use to help my skin, applying it 3 times a day. I was pleasantly surprised how well I tolerated the radiation treatments. Good luck.
I have sensitive skin also. I did get a rash after I completed radiation therapy. Aquaphor healed it up quite nicely for me. During the treatment period I put lotion on several times a day. Eucerin is what I use now.
When I got into the second half of my radiation I needed a little bit of cooling power for that sunburn. I kept some 100% aloe Vera in the fridge. When it felt like it was hot (like a sunburn) I put that on it multiple times per day.
