Itching all over after rads

Hi everyone…I just finished my radiotherapy last Thursday…the skin under my arm and under my boob has really broken down…I was given Doublebase gel and Emolliant50(very messy)to keep my skin moist…worse than that though is the awful itch I have all over my body…especially my stomach and legs…does anyone know if this is normal after rads and what could I use to relieve the itching…it’s easier said than done not scratching…it’s got me climbing the wall…maybe it’s nothing to do with the rads at all…anyone else suffered this?

Hi Linda,Keep some some aloe vera gel in the fridge and smooth it on all over the itchy bits - I find it works wonders.

Try Piriton for the itch. Sorry don’t know if itch is normal. I don’t start rads until 31/8 so would be interested to find out.
