I used aquaphor and it worked great. I was told to use it prior to starting radiation and continue for several weeks post radiation. I had very little burning as a result and I am pretty fair skinned. Hang in their Melanie, you will be done before you know it. The tiredness is completely normal and expected, just make sure you get enough rest and sleep.
