Radiotherapy marks

Hi all

My hubby started his radiotherapy yesterday and had his 2nd session today.  This evening he’s developed lines of small red marks on both sides of his forehead, which we’re guessing is a reaction to his mask.  
We’ll check with his radiographer when he goes for tomorrow’s session, but I just wondered if anyone has had anything similar?  

The marks are not bothering him, but it does look a bit odd!

Thanks!

  • Yes, he does too and obviously from the tightness of the mask, but this came up last night  - long after the usual marks faded - and still quite prominently there this morning.  We’ll see what they say today.
