I used unscented Lubiderm and unscented dove soap. I used lots of the lotion. When showering do not rub the radiated breast hard just pat dry. I also cleaned the breast from lotion before each Radiation.Good luck. You got this.

My clinic recommended aloe gel and emu oil. I added lavender essential oil as well. My radiation was early in the day, so I applied everything after the appointment for a total of 4 times a day.

I used 100% Aloe Vera gel often during radiation and it didn't burn. Got a little pinkish.
