Hello @Tinkat, good to hear you have made it to RT! I’m on day 8 of 25 today. I’ve used MooGoo so far so good - there is a thread running at present on skin treatments and also calendulacream seems popular. Best tip is to start your preferred skin treatment now every day and then double it when you start and after that even more and the nurseS will be advising you by then. I’m on MooGoo udder cream three time’s a day Day 5 onwards. Nurse was pleased with skin today. Clinic used to offer Mepitel film and a gel called Strata XRT. They said it wasn’t convincingly better and they don’t offer it anymore but a number of ladies on this forum have used these with success. Hope this helps, Tinksxx.
