[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 722283, member: 1233"] This will sound odd, but it is the only tidbit of advice I have. When a relative went through the radiation portion, she got severe skin irritation from the radiation treatment. Oddly enough, the only thing that helped was diaper ointment. I had a small child at the time, and she needed something that provided a barrier between her skin and her clothing or anything that would touch the area. Absolutely anything that touched her hurt this area. I got some small containers of different ointments to try and the only thing that worked was a zinc based diaper ointment, but not a stiff one. Even Aquaphor hadn't been helpful at all. Odd, but it was a huge help for her. Years later I passed it along to 2 other friends who went through radiation and they both said it was the only thing that helped them. They thought it was strange so they tried everything else first. WHen nothing else worked, they figured it could not hurt. [/QUOTE]
