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.)

- FLCloverMemberVery highly likely to @Cath62 ππ». My breasts also got a break over the weekends and I applied heaps of dream then. Sounds like youβre doing really well π. Hope you enjoy your weekend π
- Cath62MemberGood 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.
- FLCloverMemberI 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 didnβt get a chance as they had dried up and disappeared so quickly. π€π€ you have similar results β€οΈ
- Cath62MemberHi, 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.
- FLCloverMemberFantastic outcome @Abbydog ππ»π
- ddonMemberWow. That looks amazing.
- SisterMemberSo 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.
- AfraserMemberExcellent result, well done.
