I have been using Miaderm cream. It’s costly but so worth it. I use one with lidocaine in it and I have had hardly any pain and my skin only slightly pink after completing three weeks. My doctors are even surprised at how well I’m healing. I’m very very fair with fragile skin so I did lots of research and read about Miaderm. and it’s been life saving. My friend used aqua for and did not have very good result plus stained all her clothes. My cream does not stain. I used it three or four times a day and it was not always easy to find time but very glad I did it. We are all going through so much stress and anxiety. And having skin heal made it so much easier to do treatment. I have next week to complete treatment then after awhile will be taking pills which I’m very concerned about reading about side affects. We are all warriors and survivors in our breast cancer treatment and I just placed myself in Gods hands and pray for good outcome. Blessings to all.
@@sonamsherpa844 radiation does not hurt at all. I went five weeks and never any pain I healed with no blisters or perking because I used Miaderm cream religiously. Right after radiation I brought wit me and put it on and then again before bedtime and also very early morning. My doctors were surprised at how well my healing went.
@@scarlettthomas9091 Purchase on line. Look for Miaderm. I bought one with lidocaine in it and used that three times a day. Costly but I healed so well with it. Y friends using aqua for did not heal very well and had peeling and blisters. After radiation was over I continued for two weeks and then started using a regular healing loti9n that was much less expensive.
I used Miaderm cream and after 20 treatments, I had only a faint line showing and a tan in my armpit! It may not work for everyone, but it worked well for me. They also sell a great calendula soap which I used.
Hello Mandy. I had no blisters or pain after radiation unlike what some of my friends experienced. Did not want Spend the money but do worth it. I Put on early morning at least three hours before radiation And right after radiation was over whole in dressing room reapplied it. I am very fair and have sensitive skin so was concerned. I reapplied cream before bedtime also. And this cream did not stain my clothes like some others. Also I did use Miaderm with Lidocaine for quite awhile but cannot remember exactly when. So just keep creaming often as Possible. We are going through enough having breast cancer and anything that can make it easier is so important. Have to say my radiation experience was fine and truthfully I was so worried after seeing what friends went through Good luck. We are all warriors in this breast cancer battle. I saw my surgeon this week and got a wonderful report so I’m very happy and praying I continue my healing.
I just finished 30 rounds with a bolus . 25 full chest , 5 boosts . All for breast cancer . It was no joke ! I felt it was totally understated especially when compared to chemo ( I did both ) and I actually found radiation after #20 very rough !!!! I used Miaderm, Aquaphor , aloe which helped . I wore zero bra all 6 weeks and used calendula soap to wash the area . I wore black cotton t shirts to hide the topicals and layered. If you experience pain you can take like alleve or if really bad tell the doc and they will give you pain pills ! They have steroid cream for itching and my fav which was lidocaine cream . Miaderm has a blend w lidocaine and that was my goto numbers 20-30! I was lucky I have very little irritation until like number 21 , then sadly those last 8 were challenging . I made it to the other side ! Just even 4 days post I can tell my skin is trying to heal . You are not alone
Thank you for the information. I'm on radiation now for my left breast. Finished chemo last October. I'm on my 17th radio. Now is when I'm feeling more discomfort.
Wishing you and your family a safe and Merry Christmas. I owe you big time, my mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and had a double bilateral mastectomy on top of 11 lymph nodes removed. I first found your channel when it came to dealing with lymphedema that she got pretty bad in her feet and ankles. You taught me a lot when it came to short stretch bandages and how to wrap that really helped her situation. She's been going through radiation Monday through Friday and she's starting to get a radiation burn. TH-cam and Google are such useful tools but I was highly surprised while searching TH-cam on what products to use regarding radiation irritation to see you once again. God bless you you are an angel and we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I have sensitive reactive skin. This will be the most painful part of my breast cancer recovery journey. Yikes. Thanks for the information. I hope going in prepared, the pain will be lessened.
My doctor gave me Silvadine for my radiation burns. I don't think I would have made it through the last part of my radiation treatment without it. Ask your Dr. for it.
My radation program dumped me with no wound care and no skin care recommendations. I winded up at urgent care getting help...I'm working with dermatology at my home base
3M makes a Cavilon No Sting Barrier spray and the Cancer Clinic in Niagara, Ontario Canada recommends we use it for radiation. It is amazing and there is a video on their website where a staff member used it. I had 15 sessions and only used this spray. You use it for 2 weeks after your sessions Mon/Wed/Fri is when you spray throughout your sessions and for 2 weeks after.
Hey, actually my relative had undergone radiation therapy on her face. Her sebaceous glands were damaged and one half of her face looks like the burn after radiation but it has been over a year and the skin is still burnt and red. How long would it take for it heal..? Can you please tell me? (Oh,by the way, she had cancer on the roof of buccal cavity)
I have a lotion I use and I add vitamin D3 oil and either peanut oil or sunflower oil. Which really softens my skin. Would those be ok to use ? And does it really matter if the lotion is fragranced?
Hi Kelly thx for wonderful videos. Your Amazon l8 is aren’t working for the silicone get or sheets ? Can u please tell us the brand or reset your links ? Many thxxx
I just had my lumpectomy and the drs made radiation sound like it’s no big deal. Now I’m scared as I am light skinned and burn easily and even get rashes from sun exposure at times.
I also had a suppuration all along the crease below my breast {heavy breasts} and the radiologist prescribed a silver based burn cream: silver-sulfadiazine cream, which slowly helped it heal. So painful though. I hope you find help soon.
It’s been since November 17th (that was my last treatment) I had treatment in my right armpit area. It’s still discolored and my shoulder is stiff and I may have some blisters. I remember my doctor mentioning the hydronic oxygen treatment but I’m not sure what that is. I’m gonna try the vitamin e oil. I’ve tried cocabutter, and aquaphor for the itching but it doesn’t help😢
Hi.. It's been 3 months after cervical treatment. I too was not informed of after effects and changed from medication to medication. The skin is healing but I have a terrible itch as it's spread around my whole vagina, navel and buttocks. Any advice n what to use for the itchyness please.
Hi I'm looking after a lady with cancer of the vulva at the moment, she's finished her last treatment and the level of severity and blistering is bad. She's allergic to paraffin so using Intracite gel, however I haven't been able to get hold of it over the weekend and she's in alot of pain. Is there anything you can recommend for me to do to help with the pain until I can get hold of her prescription? Kind regards xxx
Yes I did and it’s amazing. No staining. And used one with lidocaine. No Pain. I’m still using after four weeks radiation. My skin is quite raspy and armpit grey looking but no Pain after what is now five weeks
I have been using Miaderm and then Miaderm L for the last 1/3rd of my 6 wk radiation therapy. It's working very well for me. I began the cream well before radiation, and I drank a minimum of 8 c of water per day to maximize skin hydration. I continued my 5 day/wk exercises also. I believe it all helps. Don't be overwhelmed with fear! That doesn't help.1
My radiation was over December 23. What a nice Christmas gift I received. I used the Miaderm cream withLidocaine. I put on three times a day. Took with me and put on right away after radiation before getting dressed. As I said before I’m very fair and have delicate skin plus had lotsa skin cancer but had only pinkness and little pain and no pealing or blistering. My doctors were so pleased. Kept using and used one lidocaine free when I felt ready. I was so so concerned about taking hormone pill and thinking I might not take it but did not want reaccurrance. Ladies have to tell you I take pill right. After breakfast never on empty stomach and it’s been so wonderful. So far no side affects. And its been eight weeks so I’m feeling very positive. So it’s been a very difficult journey but I’m doing really well and place myself in Gods hands and leaving the rest up to him. We are warriors and survivors and much stronger than we could have imagined. God bless us all
I received radiation on my right breast. I noticed burns on the right side of my back. Does this mean the radiation was too much? This happened the last week of treatment. They added a part to the radiation machine.
I also experienced this, though skin on the back not nearly as affected as the breast, which was horrendous for me. [Strangely the skin on my back on that side still is itchy at times, 4 years later].The techs administering the treatments explained this is normal because the radiation of course passes straight through your body; it doesn't just stop a few inches below your breast surface. This is why you were initially sent for CT scans ; they make computer drawings of the zone of radiation they'll use so as to least impact your heart and lungs.
Hi. I would ask your doctor about it. I was given a sheet with recommendations. Aquaphor helped during treatment to moisturize the skin but now I’m dealing with the stiffness and the itch. Bring what you plan to use to your next appointment and ask it wouldn’t hurt.

I’m on 18 of 33 treatments I use but e oil then on top of that aquafor. So far no burns or irritation. Hopefully it stays this way.
Vit e oil.
What they don’t tell you is that you can have the effects of radiation years later. The area that was radiated will always be sensitive.
Ugh
My doctor gave me Silvadine for my radiation burns. I don't think I would have made it through the last part of my radiation treatment without it. Ask your Dr. for it.
How are you now and how much time it took for you to recover radiation burn marks
That makes sense. It's the best thing for a burn. Thank you for sharing this.

Hope it was ok for you
I had good success with a base coat of aloe covered with Aquaphor. I cut the neck out of a few t-shirts to avoid contact with fabric.
How did you apply/use these.
@@munayema Once or twice a day. Just rubbed both on by hand.
Hi, I’m going through radiation now, what aloe did you use??
I read wear soft t-shirts inside out so no seams touch your skin.

Yes I notice skin colourhas changed darker
"most doctors will provide this for you" lol, my doctors didn't even warn me, a 31 year old man, that chemo might make me infertile
I freaked out when I saw how burn n dark my skin has become n I stopped the radiotherapy 😥😥
When did you see your skin color change?
