Radiotherapy creams to use for re-irradiation in the same area

Hi Haydon 

Welcome to our little Community.

I haven't come across anybody here who has had RT to the same area but hopefully somebody might spot your post.

I would imagine your husband's team must be well aware of the complications so I hope they keep on top of them

I can say that for me Aloe Vera Gel applied liberally to the skin straight after RT stopped me from burning.

I know some people here did have a bad skin breakdown and were prescribed Polymem bandages

Do let us know how he gets on and fingers crossed he isn't too badly affected

Hi Haydon , my hubby was prescribed epaderm and this worked well for him and 2 ladies i work with also used this during radio therapy and said this was a god send. Wishing you all the best xx

Hello there,  my husband has been given flamigel straight from the start of his RT, also he was still having dome degrees of radiation burns, this gel still did it's job, in addition to that, he's also been given Non adhesive neck roll dressings to protect the wounds, 6wks after treatment the burns are nearly gone,he's also using Flaminal forte,till the rest of the wound on the left side of the neck is completely healed.Had to buy these products from Amazon in the beginning,as these were difficult to get on prescription. But both of these products worked well for my hubby.

Hi Haydon, I used Flamigel RT..  three times a day......skin turned extremely dark as expected, but did not break down in any way.. did not even peel... as an addition I was also using Aveeno over night to keep everything well moisturised.. 

Oh, and you should be able to get Flamigel on prescription or from your team.

Hi I had 35/radiotherapy sessions and burned badly from week 5 one lymph  node was very close to surface so couldn’t be avoided. During treatment I had my neck wrapped before mask went in in industrial making film.  Then after each session a pollen bandage was put on i had  to wear this day and night and only change of when green gunk came through. It did work my skin healed. 

sorry you’ve e found yourself back on the cancer merry go round. If we can help just ask.

i used moo go all organic no scent etc approved by my radiology team but once my skin went sore and swollen i then used what my nurse gave me flamigel but unitl then which was right at the end of treatment moo go was what i used not to expensive either on amazon and this was recommended to me by a friend who is also a cancer patient so she used it and recommended it to me so i gave it a go with my teams permission and it was great for hydration until the very end of treatment and once my skin healed i carried on using it now i use aloe vera or coco butter now iam 4 months post treatment and skin back to normal infact my skin healed really well and quickly back to normal 1st thing to heal and go back to normal was my skin x
