My mum has red itchy patches of skin around her body not where the radiotherapy was administered.
she's been told to use QV cream has anyone used this before?
Hi Hollyberry12,
I used QV cream throughout my radiotherapy & afterwards on recommendation from my radiotherapy team, it’s basically an aqueous cream that can be used as either a moisturiser or to wash with instead of soap based products. I still only use this to wash the area where my skin was affected by the radiotherapy.
I hope that helps a little.
Nicola
