Radiotherapy rash

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your skin barrier being weakened.  I remember that they told me that the redness, irritation could definitely get worse for up to 3 weeks after I finished therapy.  
I am not familiar with Flamigel RTas I live in US and don’t think it is used here.  If it is getting worse and you are concerned just call and see what other measures they can recommend.  
Take care.  

Ive been using flamigel during and for 2 weeks since, and have been OK, but I only had 5 sessions.  Im now on aloe vera gel.

My understanding is that if your skin breaks out-you shouldn't use flamigel. You may need to go back to BC nurses or your GP x

Hello Sparkleandshine , I used flamigel throughout and for several weeks after my treatment and it worked well for me. However, if your skin is blistering it is worth checking back either with radiotherapy unit or bcn. 
The treatment continues to intensify for at least 2 weeks after it ends, so important to rest, keep yourself hydrated (I was recommended coconut water) and moisturise treated area. 
am sorry you are so sore, I hope it eases soon xx 

I found that my skin and tiredness got worse for a couple of weeks before getting better. My worst burn was on my collarbone, but didn’t actually blister and I got through it with copious quantities of rich  emollient cream, coconut oil and oat moisturiser. I know that there was a gel that the radiography dept could give if you blistered, but didn’t find out as I was ok when my skin was checked. I did go around feeling quite greasy..

All the best xx

Thank you so much xxx

Hi Sparkleandshine , sorry you’re having these issues. I was told that the immediate side effects of rt usually peak 2 weeks after finishing as it carries on ‘working’ during that time (or words to that effect). I was also advised to contact the rads team during that time, rather than my GP practice, simply because the rads team have seen more rads effects. In your situation I’d try to get in contact with them for advice. 
I did have a weird sort of rash but with sort of flat brown scales rather than blisters. It didn’t hurt. It lasted for weeks and then the ‘scales’ gradually came off when I was doing my daily (twice a day) moisturising. It was really strange but did slowly resolve. At the breast clinic the doctor said they just can’t predict who will get a reaction to rads, but that my breast clearly didn’t like it! 
Hope your pain eases, do get in touch with your rads team if that’s an option - there may be other lotions that could help. Love and hugs, HFxx
