Hi started my radiotherapy on my neck today,and wondering if anyone  can recommend suitable skin cream to use on the area targeted? 

Any advice welcome 

  • Hi. Your team should give you something. I was given Diprobase but found it too greasy so bought Cetraben. I used aloe vera gel straight after each session. I didn’t burn at all, just got a little red and flakey in the last few days. Whatever you use you mustn’t apply straight before RT

    Many folk get Flamigel which is specially formulated for skin getting radiation.
