Oh my 😩. I remember that pain. I was also burnt in my underarms, between breasts and under them. That’s where Mepitel refused to stay. I made a litre of saline soak, then put a soft tea towel inside, drenched it, lay down on a towel on my bed, and put the soaked tea towel on my chest. Completely covered it. It was so soaked the water would run down me, but I had the towel underneath. I stayed like that for 20 mins. The tea towel was too soaked to stick to the sores. This was in winter so I was quite cold, but I had to try it. It was too painful otherwise. After that soak, I’d gently scrape the old skin away. It came off easily cos it had been softened. And then the inside goo of an aloe vera plant, all over, which I’d kept in the fridge. After that a couple hours Flamigel. Then before bed the 20 min saline soak again, and more aloe vera. I put the chunky fleshy part right on the burnt parts, inside my bra. The next morning they were all dried up and shrunken. It took ages to do and hurt, but was soooo worth it. I’m telling you, I think actually 2 days later I felt no more pain, but it was still red, so I kept doing it for about a week. Then I just used aloe flesh and Flamigel for another week. Good as new, soft and smooth. I couldn’t believe it. Other ladies have said the same of both these methods. And now no signs of radiation.
A lady I worked with had bc before me. She told me her radiation burns were horrendous. She went on holiday with her partner right after it, and went swimming in the sea. She said it hurt really bad, but was healed a couple days later, no more pain. The salt soak and aloe do wonders, just do them longer.
In any case, I’m hoping it goes away. No one should have that pain. Hugs to you ♥️
