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 (Three),
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.
