Radiation burns

@Jen79x I had 16 rounds radiotherapy last May - I was surprised that my skin damage was minor despite being a very fair redhead. I used Dermaveen a lot plus a herbal lotion supplied at the clinic - many ladies on here swear by Moo Goo. We went to Cairns shortly after and did note I had to be very careful with UV however - I wore a long sleeve rashie a lot and did not feel comfortable with lengthy times in the sun so did not do some adventures with my family..I would think you might need to coverup to protect yourself from late afternoon sun.I think skin damage might be related to how many rounds you have and yes your type of skin.I was told by nurse at radiotherapy clinic my type of skin surprisingly not severely effected - she had an Asian lady with serious skin problems however.I never needed dressings . I bought post op front opening cotton bras from target which helped but all the creaming discoloured them badly and I also wore a soft top as I had zapping under my armpit - you may need to consider carefully the fabric of your outfit or be prepared to wear a soft cotton top underneath it. Btw I was told to cream up not only during treatment but for 3months afterwards 3 times a day - I did more than that when I felt the need and I did in Qld which was in July 6 weeks after it ended.
