I'm beginning to get burnt with rads, and, I'm using what my radiation oncologist explained to use. What has other people useful for the burn up? Thanks!

    radiation burn

    you didn't say what cream your RO is having you use. Pure aloe gel can be good. Our health food store sells it in large tubes. Aquaphor is good. I used Vanicream - not sold in places like Walmart or Target, it's sold more in the pharmacies associated with a clinic or hospital, dermatologists like it just as general skin cream. Be sure and have your RO take a look at your skin, sometimes they'll order a prescription cream.
