Going through radiation, it was imperative to moisturize the area 3-4 times a day because of the damage to the skin. I used Udderly Smooth cream which results amazed my radiation team. One of my infusion nurses told me her husband in construction used it on his hand which took a beating daily. It's not at all greasy so it seems to absorb better. Even better is that it's inexpensive and fragrance neutral.
In addition to trying a variety of creams and lotions, I make an oil combo that I love. Use a glass bottle with eye dropper (about two ounce), fill 2/3 with a carrier oil-jojoba, Argan or any that you like. Add 10 drops of lavendar oil, 10 drops frankincense oil and 10 drops myrrh. This will last a long time and is inexpensive. The essential oils can be purchased online and don’t have to be the most expensive-just read reviews.
Best wishes, Cindy
