I had pretty bad burns on my abdomen & the only thing that cleared them up quickly was Sucralfate. It's a prescription drug applied to the area. A friend had similar burns & the Sucralfate worked wonders for her, too.
I can't swear this will help with radiation burns, but the singular best thing that I've ever used for any burn is emu oil. Preferably cold-processed and food grade (for purity). I've seen it prevent a bad burn from blistering and it's a standard first-aid item in Australian hospitals for burns. I first read about it on an Australian website for wool spinners (who use it to prevent arthritis from repetitive hand motions) and it's healed things that I thought would remain scar tissue forevermore.
Awesome good to know. I pray you guys are doing well. I’ve been diagnosed with the same type and starting treatments May 9th. Will all be getting same number of treatments as well as 4 rounds of Chemo. Did he have any troubles eating and swallowing? And if so what did you do?
Thanks
My husband received very high dosages of radiation (5 days/week for 6 weeks) for base of tongue and lymph node cancer in his neck in the summer of 2017.The skin burns were very significant. May I pass along a treatment suggested by our radiation oncology nurse. Take 1 part white vinegar mixed with 4 parts water, soak a white cotton cloth and wring out excess ( I cut up men's white 100% cotton t-shirts). Place on burnt area for 15 minutes, remove and let area air dry. I am not lying...it does sting!!!, but gets better! Then liberally apply 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream (prescription). Do this 4 times a day. Be sure you use very clean cloths and a clean shirt every time. Within 3 weeks burns were completely healed. Check with your radiation oncologist before using this. Our nurse has 25 years of experience in this field and knows a lot of "out of the box" treatments. Aquaphor was no help for him. Good luck!

My Dr prescribed Siladene. It was a life saver.
@mimz59, calendula cream may offer him relief.
