Hi I have sensitive skin and am about to start radiotherapy. I know I need something fragrance free and I generally dont use moisturiser due to my sensitive skin. I would be grateful to hear about anything that helped anyone on this forum. Thank you in anticipation of your replies.
Hi Emilia3
Could I recommend you join the Breast cancer forum and ask your question there, as almost all people with breast cancer will have had radiotherapy? I know you have added this question to a number of existing posts there, but suggest you create a new one, as people will be more able to see it. To do that, you need to join the forum first by clicking on the green button towards the top right of the page, then click the white button towards add a new post.
If you do an internet search for fragrance free body wash quite a few things come up. The Simple range and the Sanex range are available in supermarkets and places like Boots. For moisturiser, I was recommended to use Aveeno Dermexa (the blue label one).
