You don't dare put anything on the treatment area BEFORE radiation. There is a cream call BIAFINE that is very good for radiation burns. Ones uses it the entire time and it is supposed to help prevent the buen. I didn't get it until after I was fried. Ask dr about it. You will need a script. Before I had that I used a cream called Aloe Relief which I found better than the Aquaphor.
Take care,
Eileen
