Re: Cream Help

Hi,

A link to sensible guidelines.
http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/pat...iation-therapy

You don't have to use only "evoskin" if it is that expensive. The cream doesn't stop the damage as such, but it reduces the redness, dryness and itching etc and helps the skin repair.

If significant burn occur, consider the old standard "SSD Cream" (Silver Sulfadiazine Cream) which has been used for burns for years. Don't use this if allergic to Sulfa drugs.

Best wishes
