@nonkyboy check with radiotherapy nurses rather than pharmacist. They absolutely know more about these specific skin reactions. Also the usual products like moisturisers etc may not be suitable for broken skin at all. Blistering after 2 zaps sounds extreme.

Perhaps you are one of the rare few???? Speak to them before your next zap.
