Hi, the radiation oncologist recommended that I use Domeboro which can be purchased over the counter and I followed the instructions on the package. Depending on how bad the burn is, there is also something that the radiation oncologist can prescribe. When I was at Hope Lodge, several people were using a prescription strength product. Make sure you talk with the doctor to see what they recommend. Then as it got better, They had me use Aquaphor—this can also be purchased over the counter. Good Luck. Mary Kay. ,

Hi @mimz59, welcome. @marykaym63@beman@starrlight are a few members who have mentioned radiation burn in the past and may be able to provide their experiences and solutions. @alpaca may have some thoughts too.
Mimz, what has the radiation oncologist or therapists suggested for the burns? It must be so painful and difficult for him to get sleep.
