Hope you're skin feels better today. Radiation definitely can change the texture of your skin. Let us know how you're doing.

Keep using the cream. Try to be very gentle with that area. Do what you can when you can but don't over do it. Try to rest and relax. Easier said than done but try really hard. Its helps as well. Wishing you great luck, much love and endless hugs!
