Mepitel

I am so pleased with the result of Mepitel.
I've just completed 5 weeks of Radiotherapy.
I have taken the Mepitel off today, 5 days after last treatment.
You wouldn't know I've had any Radiotherapy to look at.
Sorry for 2 copies of photo,
(I have a funny bump of fat at my side, from Mastectomy. That will be sorted at reconstruction.)

  • Very highly likely to @Cath62 πŸ‘ŒπŸ». My breasts also got a break over the weekends and I applied heaps of dream then. Sounds like you’re doing really well 😊. Hope you enjoy your weekend πŸ˜—
  • Good to know @FLClover. Mine pimple type rash is from the radium on my sun damaged skin so the nurse thought. She cur some of that dressing away today so i could put a bit of hydrocortisone cream on it over the weekend and will put more mepitel on it Monday.  Hope all goes well for me too.
  • I had the same pimple like things, @Cath62. I was also very itchy, esp under my breasts. Pimple things went away as soon as mepitel was off for good. Skin was smooth as could be a couple days later. Itching also stopped. I was looking forward to Mepitel coming off so I could squeeze the pimples, but didn’t get a chance as they had dried up and disappeared so quickly. 🀞🀞 you have similar results ❀️
  • Hi, i am using this too. After 5 sessions I have some redness and little pimple like things under the dressing which are itcy but an antihistamine helped that.  I have 19 radium treatments in total and after today 13 to go. I hope I will have a similar result @Abbydog. 
  • So glad it's worked well for you.  Don't be surprised if you end up with a sore spot or two in the next 2 or 3 weeks but it's a great result.
