I finished my treatment on Thursday. Although I am aware side effects will ramp up in next 3 weeks before starting to get better, is it normal for the skin to be split and bleeding, disintegrating and weeping? Just want to check that this is to be expected and not infected. Can't show team as now back in Guernsey. Any advice on what to use to help. Hospital still advocating salt washes and fresh air and no creams.

Hi Jlan

Well done on finishing treatment. I can't say if this is normal or not just that it wasn't my situation. Out of the creams my hospital used i would try flaminal hydro or flaminal forte. Forte is the stronger one and can be used for what you are describing. The fact that my hospital provided them makes me think that what has happened with your skin is normal for some. Rest up and recover. Sending hugs. Xx

Yes it's normal.... and painful!!! It gets better. Are you SLATHERING with cream??? I ruined so many sweat pants by constantly reapplying cream...I forget the name.... but any helps... and it worked amazingly.

Sorry....I see doctors said "no creams". Mine said "plenty" and it helped a lot!!

Hi , sorry to read you’re suffering . My skin was like that , it’s horrible . I found using Flaminal forte really helped, I tried Polymen dressings but couldn’t keep them in place.
Mine started to improve about 3 weeks post treatment . When it was at its worse I got a review at the hospital and they just told me to up the analgesia .

Hope yours improves very soon
