I used the flamogel given to me by the hospital, I ended up with 2 tubes. I used it religiously 3 times per day, and I am now almost finished my 2nd tube of organic aloe vera gel too (about £5 per tube from ebay) and have another one ready to use. I am using it twice per day now and am 4.5 weeks after the end of my 5 sessions of RT. I have also avoided getting sun on the area and used high factor sun cream when outside. All has been well.
I was advised to use Aveeno, unperfumed, it helped with the irritation and I also had cracking on the skin around the nipple after my radiation and it really helped clear it up. I used it after showering and when the ski felt irritated. Aloe Vera gel also works well.
i used flamigel 3 times daily for a month, then aveeno. Also let the air get to the treated area. I was slightly pink after 3 sessions but flamigel stopped any soreness, cracking etc.
Started radiotherapy yesterday and was given 2 lots of cream, a steroid ( Betnovate) to put on once I was home, and another cream to put on at night and first thing in morning.
they did warn me only to use their creams and not to get my own moisturiser.
