Jamie,

Usually the radiation place has samples of stuff that can help the skin. Where I went they had some organic aloe extract and Aquafor. I used both off and on and they really helped. When my neck was literally a bloody mess, I used this stuff called Domeboro. You mix the powder in water and soak a wash cloth in it and apply it to the burned area and it cleared up after one 15 minute treatment. It was at the oncology pharmacy over the counter. It works great on sunburn, too.
