I have just finished my 5th week of treatment and the pain is getting pretty bad, the areas of my neck with creases are peeling and weeping and feel like they are stuck together when I look up. I have been using an RX named PruTect given to me by the radiation department, its like a white lotion I apply 2-3 times daily. My skin is peeling off also and I am really unsure if I should gentle remove peeling skin (this burns) or leave it in place where when it mixes with the lotion looks kind of dirty, it turns out to look like dirty goop in the creases of my neck. I have been using a light soap and gentle removing any peeling skin once a day, this usually takes about 30 minutes because I do it very gently and slow. Any ideas?
