Hi there . Can I ask what people found worked best for them during radiotherapy treatment , cream wise , on the chest area
I used E45 and didn't have any skin problems.
Hello, I used Avene Cicalfate Restorative protective cream and Avene thermal spring water spray which I kept in refrigerator so so cooling and healing too. Had no issues and my skin is super sensitive and I also have a history of eczema. Good luck on your radiation.
