Dear All, I have recently finished 15 days of radiotherapy and my skin is now quite sore, red and blistered. This has got worse over the past week, before it got worse I had a routine GP appointment and she commented on it and gave me a prescription for Flamigel RT. I am just a bit concerned as instead of improving it has got more painful and I finished radiotherapy a week yesterday.
Is this normal for it to blister and get more painful as I thought the flamigel would relieve it. Many thanks for any feedback xxx
