Neck sores

Hello. I used Epimax cream & used to fill a drinks bottle with ice & roll it over the sore areas. A silk pillowcase was very soothing too. 

Hi Karen. This is the stuff you need. Get it from your hospital 

Thanks Blod I will get this on my list...good tip about the silk pillowcase :-)

Thanks Dani I will get this on my list for the consultant. Best wishes Karen xxx

Hi Karen. I too used Flamigel during most of the treatment, although I used E45 at night, and then when it started to blister towards Week 6 they gave me Flaminal Hydro which worked an absolute treat. It looked a mess on my neck but sorted things out brilliantly within days.  I still need to moisturise my neck morning and night, and after nearly two years of much experimentation I’ve settled on Aveena moisturising cream.  Well done you - you’re nearly there! 

Thanks Chris I will, I am also seeing the clinical team tomorrow too so will mention it to them too as they are starting to blister quite a bit. Thank you for the reply Karen xxx

If you have blistering ask them about Polymem wound dressings. RadioactiveRaz had to use those as her neck got in a bit of a mess. 

Thank you so much for this it is really helpful, I am now in week 6 and over the last couple of days have seen some blistering appear. I will ask for the hydro version. Really appreciate the long term advice too! Although there were days that I didn't think I would get to end...I managed, not without alot of support and advice from this grou. Thank you so much. Best wishes Karen 

Hi Karen as Dani says my neck erupted week 5 I had ti gave cling film out on my neck prior  to each radiotherapy then s polymem bandage fixed on. Once treatment finished it took 2/3 weeks to heal still using the bandages. 
good luck this week.
