@OTISMYCAT. zinc wood be too drying. I used Sorbelene cream vitE. i used it by the bucket loads. The hospital provided me with several tubes. I had 25 rounds of radiation the rads keep working for a couple of weeks after you stop having it. I did have a major skin break down at the scar line. I still did the heaps of moisturising for a full month after under advice And still use it today for all over moisturiser. Stay away from harsh soaps as well. I also shower with a soap free sensitive skin body wash. Theres several brands out there. When the Dove one often comes on half price special I stock up. Im 7 years since stopping original treatment. It became a habit during treatment and its easy to keep doing it. Shower pat dry and moisturise. If ive been in a pool or the ocean i double up.
I did peel but only where I had the full breakdown I started radiation 2 weeks after my surgery
hope it all clears up for you
