I finished 6 rounds of chemo on May 26 and today I had my first radiation treatment.  The doctors here recommend Aquaphor and/or aloe vera. I was also given a prescription for Mometasone Furoate cream to apply daily. Hope these help because I am not looking forward to having my skin burn.  ... View more
