Baths

Hello ladies.

I’ve recently just finished radiotherapy and I had 16 treatments.

I am missing my bubble baths.

I finished my treatment on the 5th of May 2017. How long would you suggest I wait until the bubbles reappear?

Thank you and enjoy your evening :slight_smile:

Oh, hi Emily. Didn’t realise that was a thing. Never gave up my bubbles!!

Hi Emily,

That all depends on how your skin has settled down post radio. If your skin is doing well why not try a small squirt of a sensitive hypoallergenic bubble bath - keep it short, if it’s okay for a few min’s build up so that you can find out if it’s okay.

As someone who suffered bad radio burns, particularly (excuse the phrase) chargrilled nipple, I think you can trust your own judgement of your bodies condition on this one.

Enjoy the bubbles when you get there (good in a glass too!)

Hi everyone I have finished radiotherapy as of yesterday and I too have a burnt nipple and really bad burns under the breast which blistered a bit was told it could get worse over the next 14 days , did anyone use mepilex dressings I was given them by the nurse but when their on getting really bad burning sensation and have had to stop them It might be the adhesive on them as I react to dressings and get inflamed and red, I have started to use Aloevera again they told me not to use it if I was very burnt as it would sting but it has been so soothing going to get some more x
