Good morning radiation buddies, I completed my 5 days of radiotherapy last week. So far I have coped ok but over the last couple of days I’ve developed several red spots on my chest. I don’t have great skin at the best of times but this looks more like pimples than the redness I might have expected. I am using E45 twice a day to moisturise my whole breast area as directed. Has anyone had a similar reaction? Do I need to speak to the radiotherapy team or my breast nurse? I don’t want to stop the moisturising but not sure how to deal with the spots. It seems such a minor issue compared to some of you lovely people but any advice would be welcome..
