Hi for 2 weeks before my treatment started I've been using Aveeno every night trying to prepare my skin for radiotherapy.  This is now the second day of my treatment and told by the nurse I can start using the Flamagel RT I bought to protect my skin. Wondering if anyone else has used this product. If so how often did you put it on. I'm thinking in the morning before treatment and then maybe again before bed or would that be too much. It seems to dry in really well, much better than Aveeno that felt greasy. 

  • Hi  

    I always applied it after washing, after every toilet visit, after treatment each day which i found soothing. My hospital didnt really give advice as to when to use just said as and when i felt i needed it. Xx

  • Hello  

    I had no idea that Flamagel could be used prior to treatment but then again I had no idea that moisturising in the run up to treatment was advisable (pre- my forum days).  But, from what I have gained on here, there isn't such a thing as too much moisturising whatever form it is in.  So I am sorry can't advise on the quantity but I do hope it all helps.

    And the very best of luck with your treatment.
