Radiation Itch

HiDebG15​ I hope you’re doing ok and sorry to hear about the discomfort. I remember feeling a bit “cooked” when having radiation therapy and yes, I had the little red dots rashes.  For topical treatment the nurse at the Radiation therapy centre gave me a small pot of moisturising cream with a bit of cortisone cream mixed into it which was fairly soothing. I also found a cool facecloth or a mini cool pack from the freezer (I had saved from the biopsies) was helpful. It took about two weeks to settle but it did resolve. Hope you’re travelling along as well as can be. We are all different but I found it helped to take a short rest during the radiotherapy period, I was tired, possibly a hangover/still needing to recover from the previous months of chemo, a bout of covid19 and the lumpectomy surgery - but balancing rest and then the usual activities and light exercise was helpful. Sending you lots of positive vibes for this phase :-)
