What Soap To Use During Radiation Therapy?

Just wondering what brand of soap is beneficial to use during radiation therapy. I have purchased crystal deodorant and Moo Goo Udder Cream so far...but not sure what soap. Thanks. Best Wishes to Everyone. X

  • Hi Chris, Goat Soap is Great, also Moo Goo have a good soap as well that is really good - make sure you have cool showers and moisturise - i had very bad burn.rash on my face and shoulder (i had radiation on my eyes and shoulder as well secondary mets) . Also i have found with the chemo and the radiation i have not been sweating or smelling - so i know it might seem disgusting - but give your underarms a breather and see how you go xx

  • My daughter suffers from excema so was already using goats soap prior to my diagnosis.  After my diagnosis & op I went straight into 33 sessions of radiotherapy.  During this time I used my daughter's goat soap as it is a lot less strenous on your skin.
