Itching during radiation

I am going thru radiation and have a rash - but it is itching. If you have this problem too, try Triamcinolone. My doctor gave me a sample and it is working.

I have had similar symptoms.
My upper arms and inner thighs are always itchy.
I’m going to ask my doctor to prescribe your recommended medication.

@bmasters01 - Thank you for the information!
@jportell1957 - As a reminder - Triamcinolone is a corticosteroid, and it may not be appropriate for the groin, inner thighs, etc. Ensure your doctor knows you would use Triamcinolone on your inner thighs.

Have a wonderful day ladies!
