    I got a bad one on my upper chest about week four and now I have one under my arm pit.yuk
    But I only have a couple of treatments left and the Xclair cream they prescribe is good(but expensive) ask for samples...

    burns
    I got burned under my arm area really bad, and needed burn cream. it was very painful the last 2 weeks, Since it is a cumulative affect it takes time before you really think that you will get a burn. But i felt very happy to see that putting on the cream prescribed did wonders for my skin, and it is healing up so nice. Just hang in there ok? It has been 3 weeks today since my last radiation treatment. And the healing will be fairly quick.
