This is a deep wound dressing and is also used to prevent and heal radiation burn so you will be 'killing two birds with one stone'. It is far better than Aquaphor which did nothing for me. Remember you can have nothing on your neck when you go to radiation. Put it one after you are done.
Take care, Eileen
