What did you do to help radiation burn?
After lumpectomy & lymph node removal (margins & nodes showed no cancer) I had 15 rounds or radiation in 3 weeks. At the end of treatment two weeks ago I developed a rash on my chest from the radiation. It’s very red & itches like crazy, which makes it hard to sleep. I’m using over the counter cortisone cream & Aquaphor for the dryness. Has anyone had success with other ways to treat this while waiting for it to heal? This site has helped me tremendously so thank you to everyone!

Where did you purchase your honey? Thank you. I believe my radiation oncologist gave me too much Proton Therapy. After my 30th treatment, she decided to stop. My skin was completely deteriorated… I have such a large area of skin that needs to heal 🙏🏼 Never had these issues with regular radiation. Apparently the Mayo Clinic is #1 in their field for treatment of Proton Therapy…
It could be I can’t take it cause I am allergic to sulfur.
It is not sulphur the drug check with doctor it is a cream
Not sulpher. This a cream not a pill talk to your doctor save me fro Having to discontinue treatments because of burns
My oncologist said to stick with the non sulfur ointment.
