I had the open sores on my neck too and used a product called Domeboro. It is an over the counter product and you mix the powder in water, soak a wash cloth in it and apply it to the burned area for about 15 minutes. I only used it once and it completely cleared up the sores. I also have a brown area on my lower jaw and neck from the radiation and I don't believe it will ever go away since it has been there about 9 months. I usually tan easily but don't want the sun beating down on that area any more so I haven't "blended" it in.
