How Can One Handle Radiation-Induced Skin Reactions?
Radiation therapy can cause skin reactions like redness, swelling, and peeling. To manage these:
- Gentle Care: Use gentle, non-irritating products. Avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area. - Moisturize: Apply recommended creams and ointments to keep the skin hydrated. - Cool Compresses: Use cool compresses to relieve discomfort and reduce inflammation. - Consult Healthcare Providers: Always follow the advice of your healthcare team regarding skincare products and treatments.
