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.

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.

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. YouTube and Google are such useful tools but I was highly surprised while searching YouTube 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
