Two weeks before the end of my rt treatment the skin on my neck broke down leaving me having to have dressings removed and replaced daily. This continued for four weeks after treatment. Thankfully my skin has healed well but the new skin on my neck is very tight. I have been given several moisturisers but nothing seems to ease it. Advice anyone?
Hi have you tried bio oil ? Or Aveeno for sensitive skin ? I burnt badly and had the polymer bandages for a similar time. 7 years later touch wood I’ve never had any issues. Always use factor 50 sincere every day summer or winter.
