Skin soreness after radiotherapy 2 years on.?


I had radiotherapy in November 2006 for the whole month.My skin, though healed is still very sensitive and I hate clothing rubbing on the area.I did use aloe vera gel but my clothing sticks to me after using it.Not due to see my oncologist until March, or I'd ask his advice.Is there anything I could put on my skin to soothe it? Thanks in advance.

there's a cream for that but you can also use ky

dont shave or use irritant soaps on skin.consult your doc about using local anaesthetic cream[emla].

if i where you, i would go to you re doctor, he will know what is wrong
