Hi everyone I start my radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the 14 th October
Unfortunately We only have a shower, and I wonder if anyone can recommend
a cloth that I can soak in Epsom Salts to help my skin in that delicate place.Ideally
one that I could throw away each time.I think a flannel would be too rough
love Patricia xx
Hi I would recommend buying a sitz bath from Amazon .there not expensive you can wee in it as well as it burns
Yes, I would def say get a sitz bath - it fits over the toilet seat and you can soak in Epsom Salts, or just use it to clean your bottom, much more soothing than scraping with paper. Also some people find it helps to actually go to the loo in the sitz bath if that becomes uncomfortable, and its easy to empty and clean.
