I will give the thumbs up for Sulfadiazine cream. I did hate it because it was so yukey to put gobs of cream on my nect but it did do wonders, I had pretty severe rad burns on my neck and shoulders and the sulf cream really calmed it down and helped healing.
I also was told to put head and shoulders hair stuff on my rash, weird but seemed to work!
