Any recommendations for how to prevent skin irritation from radiotherapy?Going to start next week after mastectomy. 

  • 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.
