When Pete`s skin came off , it was more like a bad sunburn and he had nice healthy if red skin underneath. I actually helped the process along with a sterile water and peroxide spray, it made the dead skin bubble up and then it came off in the shower.
This was of course WHEN RADIATION WAS FINISHED!
Don`t panic about it , we can talk you through when it starts and it should not be too painful.

3 more and then finito!!!

Take Care
