My nipple got very sore during radiotherapy onmy breast, and 3 weeks after radiotherapy finished it continues to be very sore. The hospital gave me sticky dressings for this but it was so painful removing the dressings before I had a shower, I've stopped using the dressings. I'm moisturising daily. Any hints or things to do or use to reduce the soreness please?
