On day 12 of 20 and skin blistered and sore under breast and armpit. Was told on day 3 to stop using aqueous cream in those areas, given antibiotics and a cream. Two days after finishing antibiotics skin flared up again. Been using hydrocortisone cream on another area and now told to try it on these areas too. May be a prescription for another cream tomorrow. Been letting air get to area. My final week is a booster week and concerned about my skin. Any ideas, suggestion?
Hi Babycakes
sorry to hear you have had so many probs with skin. I have just finished 15 sessions of rad this Tuesday.
I was given an aloe vera plant which i just opened up the leaf and gently rubbed the juice on my boob and surrounding area. before and after session it worked like a dream, now i dont know whether it would help you, but i do know that my friends who have used it previously have all said that they still use it for burns on other parts of their body, its jolly good and you cant get much purer than the actual plant.
I also found leaving my bra off for as much time as possible really helped, just wearing a thin cotton camisole top under my t. shirt.
hope this helps
