I'm happy that you were able to have your burns heal quickly. I've just completed my first week of radio & have had the Mepitel applied.

Then areas were lifting each day & I was advised to cut away loosened areas so that by day/ treatment 5, less than half remained.

So I use my creams generously this weekend in readiness for the next 20 treatments. How often did you need your Mepitel reapplied? It certainly does make you itch.
Take care
