@arpie just thought i'd let you know that the rad nurse at the hospital gave me Cortic -DS 1% cream for my itchiness during rad treatment. It is especially for redness, itching & inflammation of the skin during treatment. It has hydrocortisone acetate 10mg/g in it. She even said i could use it over the Mepitel if i get itchy which i have started to do. Hope this helps & ask your nurse at the treatment centre as i'm sure she will have a free sample of something for you. I was given this one. Hope it helps & good luck for the rest of treatment. I'm off for my last week in the morning. I will have to get up at 4.30am to get to Adelaide in time so not a good start to the week but i sleep better in my own bed. Good luck my friend. Always thinking of you. Hugs xxxx
