Have had great results with this gel on radiation burn
Hi everyone,
I finished radiation on Jan 5 and despite keeping the Mepitel film on for most of my 30 treatments, I was quite badly burnt, particularly in the fold under my breast. Once I took the film off, about a week from the end, because I couldn't stand the itch anymore, I found that my skin in that area was raw and broken. It was really sore and it's so hard to heal that area, because it's always 'folded'.
I was so excited to get my film off, but to be honest was quite horrified with how my skin looked and felt underneath, so I was completely deflated (and quite upset) that day.
A couple of things worked well to heal it REALLY fast. Nurses gave me a special folded dressing to wear, and I applied a product I got from my kinesiologist, called Renu28. This stuff is outstanding. Within a few days, the skin had calmed right down (clinical staff were so surprised) and within a week it was all healed. Once I'd finished my treatment, I also used it on the small area beside my nipple that received the 5 targeted radiation blasts they give you at the end. Same quick results (and helped my wide excision scar look much better as well).
I moisturised the whole breast area with MooGoo udder cream as well and am so happy with how my skin looks!
Other than where I get it, I'm not sure where you can get it, because it's not sold in stores. Google might come up with a reseller in your state (feel free to ask if you can't find anyone and I can ask Renee.) It's not cheap, but I can't recommend it enough.
Best,
Nicola
