Dear Shakalker.  Im late to this post as usual I! But OMG! Hope some relief has come to you.
Is it not a radiation burn? I dont know the treatment for these specific burns.Burns are not usually treated with creams. Hope you’ve been able to get the right help. Thanks for posting the graphic.

Its a basic routine for burns.. Hope you’ve found the best care.. Someone experienced in Burns.
