Radiation burns how to treat
I am 9 days post radiation. I dont want to say too much here that will scare people who are about to start. But i have skin which has come off and is weeping. Anyone know if i can use an antiseptic...
Hi @Jwrenn,
I started on bepanthen but i was told to go to sudocream because zinc aids healing. Bloody messy i might say but soothing if you can get it on.
To everyone, i seem to be an extreme case. I have very sensitive skin. You may remember i had hives for 5 months on my face hands and chest during chemo. It probably wont happen to you.
I did everything i was told to do but sometimes you can be the outlier.
Im telling myself that nothing could live through that burn and that is a very good thing. Surgeon very happy with my progress, commenting that i had had lots of up and downs but ultimately still smiling. This seems to be the theme of my life all along. I never do things the easiest way but ultimately get there. Sometimes i wish that i would take the easier path. Haha.
Thanks everyone gor kindness.
