Radiation redness and burns
hi ladies!
For those of you who had radiation, how long did it take for your skin to look red and get that sunburned look?
I've had 4 sessions now and my skin already looks red! I've quite pale skin.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed this so soon!

- BakdomMemberI'm in my 4th week of radiation treatment, my skin is starting to go red & feels hot. Like you i am pale, i've been using moogoo products several times a day. I've found hot weather seems to make it worse.
- SoldierCrabMemberI was red within a week of beginning rads.... the hot/cold packs are good to put against you chest I had mine wrapped in one of the cottons slings ( we had from numerous broken arms .... )
- adeanMemberThe last 5 for me were when l blistered and had dressings lm very fair. Use sorbelene soap and l found that l took a frozen gel pack with me and placed it across my breast to cool it down as l drove home l also used pure aloe vera. A lot of people also swear by moo goo. Xx adean
- Mine went red much later, but I am not extremely fair. Good luck with this treatment. Karen
