Hi, 

 

Just wanted to know if anyone used radiaderm radiation relief system. If yes, is it a good product to use during radiation?

 

Thanks,

Jane.

    Radiaderm user!

    Jane, I used Radiaderm every day immediately following radiation.  I used it again or other things before bed, but always washed it off every morning before rads.  My rad onc gave it to me and I think it was very good for my skin.  Those with more severe rads will join in with other things to help with blistering, raw oozing skin that I didn't suffer. 

    Welcome!

    Biafine

    My rads oncologist prescribed Biafine, a white cream in a tube, when I got badly burned during treatment.  It worked very well.  I did have to wash it off, and avoid use within four hours prior to each treatment.
