Sore skin

It's over 12 weeks since my radiotherapy finished but for some reason my skin has turned sore again, it feels like what can only be what I imagine nappy rash would be! I've tried sudocrem but it seems to make it worse, for some reason! Can anyone recommend anything please?

Best wishes,

  • Hi Moira (),

    This is exactly how my surgeon & oncologist described the skin when it gets sore & rashy, they both said the new skin is like baby’s skin & therefore can get something similar to nappy rash! Mine still gets this way from time to time, sometimes sudocrem works other times it doesn’t, if it doesn’t I just lather on aqueous cream & hope for the best, it doesn’t seem to last longer than a couple of days.

  • Hi Nicola,

    Thank you so much, I thought I had some weird symptom, so it's a relief to know it's not just me! I gave up on sudocrem and used aqueous cream this morning so I'll hope that works!
