My husband finished 6 weeks of chemo and radiotherapy on his neck for tonsil and lymph node cancer. Treatment has now finished but it’s proving difficult to manage pain from the burns on his neck, a tricky are to cover with dressings. Does anyone have any top tips? He’s using silicone dressings at the moment and a gel. Did anyone find anything else after treatment?
There is a bandage called Polymem. Look up hazels profile (RadioactiveRaz ) cluck on her name here. She has a link to her blog and there are posts about it.

Hi I burned quite badly from week 5 of treatment. I was prescribed a polymem bandage which I had ti wear for 3 -4 days at a time until the gunk came through to the outside of the bandage then replace it. I was told no cream to be uses and only use lukewarm water. I healed very well in around 3-4 weeks.
Yiu can buy the bandages but see first if your gp or consultant will issue on prescription they are around £25 a time. Plus taps yiu can see mine in photo this was my last day if treatment.

We had the dressings which did help a bit, but Oncologist advised best to let air dry things out and this worked for my husband, but he had to site bare chested in February 
I know not everyone is the same, but not wearing a top definitely helped him and his neck has healed with no scarring.
