I had radiotherapy after a double mastectomy. I used sorbalene and lanolin during my radiation therary (sorbalene during the day and lanoline at night.) My skin was at it's worst about ten days after treatment finished. It was sore, scabby and red. At this time I began using Kookaburra Herbal Skin Care's "Balm for Unhappy Skin" (they have a website - http://www.kookaburraskincare.com.au/aboutUs.html) for about a week. It stings a bit but not much and not for long. I put it on morning (with sorbalene over) and night (with lanolin over). My skin was completely healed after one week. I'm now using vitamin e oil to help get my skin back to normal.
