Flamigel

I used Cetraben but lots of folk report flamugel was good. Its actually made for the job, specifically 

Get it on prescription. I’d ask at the hospital rather than your GP 

My wife has cetraben ,might nick some of hers ,just to trial it out ! 

I'll ask about flamigel at review tomorrow,it's quite expensive on line .

Thanks Dani 

Don’t pay for it. It should be free for you 

just hope you haven't left it a bit late for it to have full effect.. use it religiously at least twice preferably 3 times a day.. does not need to be washed off before treatment, just apply at least hour and half before.. definitely moisturise overnight as well..  I take it you've looked at the website, so plenty of advice from the Daylong site as well..

if you do a search on this forum for 'regarding Flamigel RT' you'll find my post on the subject, and the excellent advice that I received..

Hi Mark.  
Another example of differing practices across Trusts.  When I turned up for my first RT session a bag was waiting for me at reception containing a large tube of Flamigel and box of Caphosol.  I slathered the Flamigel on regularly and my skin (fair skin blue eyes…usual nightmare for being sensitive to everything ) survived without any issues.

My neck was in a pretty poor state at the end of my treatment, they gave me Flamazine it cleared it up very quickly. I'm not sure if it's only used after treatment, or can be used during treatment, you could ask your team about it.

Can't find it Loz ,but thanks

It has silver in it so you can’t use it till you’ve stopped RT
