SKIN CARE

Hi

Have finished radiation for about 4 weeks now and I was wondering if anyone else has trouble with their facial skin care - my face has really been breaking out and I can't seem to get it in order.  It was never like this before. 

  • As if we don't have enough to deal with! No, my face is ok, touch wood, half way though my radiation now. You poor thing, hand in there. I am a bit worried about the skin on the chest? How is your skin in that area now? 

  • Hi Lyn

    Skin on chest / breast area has now cleared up - it is back to being white - How are you handling the radiation, getting tired or feeling okay.  Keep counting down not many to go.

  • Hi girls,

    I'm 6yrs on and remember  the pimple rash on my face  (but I did eat too much chocolate!)

    During my radio, I used pure vitamin oil on the affected area which led to minimal scarring- the staff were amazed! And on my face i used paw paw cream , at night, which worked well on my pimples (when I remembered to use it). I used these prroducts because they didn't have any chemicals in them at all.

    But always check with your medical team b4 using/trying something new.

    hope this helps a little
