Does anybody know the best thing for a sore bum pain killers not touching it
Not sure, but see no reason why not, maybe not just before in case the oils (or whatever) burn,. Maybe ask your nurse? Or the radiotherapy team? I didn't get radiotherapy but was ok to use with chemo. (Hugs)
Hi . I think probably not as it has zinc oxide in. Ask your radiographer for some cream - I was given some to apply during treatment - or ring your colorectal support nurse and see what she recommends. You need to be careful what you use
