Hi Seth! My dad's neck erupted in the 5th week. They gave him Silvidine cream. They use that on burn victims-my dad said that it was very soothing despite rubbing it in seeping, open wounds. Also, we bought him several super cool tank tops so his shirts wouldn't rub on the areas. The GOOD NEWS IS that his neck skin 100% on one side and about 95% on the side of the tonsil with Cancer. It heals so fast we can't believe it!
You can also massage his legs and look on line for in be range of motion excercises-he is walking, which is good. Keep truckin', this must be so hard on you. I am so sorry.
