Hello @Janeo70
I completed 25 rounds (5 weeks) just over 2 months ago. I’m in Cairns and had the same area treated as you but right side. MooGoo Full Cream was great for me until about the third week, then I felt I needed something thicker so switched to La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume AP 4 times a day. The nurse at Icon approved its use and I’m still using it once a day to assist with dryness and the area is pretty much back to normal. My routine was to apply it in the morning, one hour before treatment, again straight after, then at night. Around the 4th week things ramped up and my collarbone skin started to break. I found wearing an off the shoulder loose top as much as possible helped a great deal with airflow and with nothing touching the area. The nurse at Icon gave me a little tub of Lignocaine mixed with Bepanthen to use over that broken area which provided pain relief and a protective layer which helped it heal quickly. I hope you are managing ok now with the hot humid weather having started, and that you are doing well.
