Can someone recommend a good moisturiser for using during radiotherapy please.
I used Aveeno and was also recommended E45 by the radiologist. It doesn't make a difference to whether you will get a skin reaction (blistering etc), but keeping everything moisturised should stop dryness which will then stop itching so you are less likely to damage yourself that way.
Thank you I will get some for my radiotherapy regards Belinda x
Thank you! Hope all is going well with your treatment x
