Hi there, what would you recommend for this? In advance of rads starting, I’ve tried Aveeno, not for me, red itchy rash. Anything else super mild? I’m an almost blue/white skinned redhead. Still have blue boob after SLNB blue dye during op 5 weeks ago, Smurf boob.
Udder Cream - It’s lovely! I was given a free sample but as it wasn’t on the recommended list from the radiographers I didn’t use it until after radio when I was healing up again - medihoney is also a lovely one. They may well give you something to use during radio itself if you start to get sore. I had a gel as well to use if the skin broke afterwards - I didn’t need it but as I was “peaking” between Christmas and New Year I didn’t want to be trying to get hold of help then.
