Like Eileen I didn't get Biafine RE until close to the end of treatment when I too was fried. I always found it to be soothing and effective for a much longer period of time than aloe vera which I had been using. It was effective in healing my burn. You are very fortunate to have it now, so long as you do not have an allergy to it. The warning on the Biafine box says "Biafine RE should not be used prior to extended exposure to the sun. Do not apply within four hours prior to a radiation session."
Be well. Zenda
