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.
Will definitely try somewhere else and not Smurf boob. I’ve been looking online Moogoo Skin Milk Udder Cream…seriously that’s what it’s called, getting good reviews. Kind of appeals to me too as a farmers daughter! I know udder cream was very good for my hands!
Hi Ochno, I’ve heard Avene is good.

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.
