Mu husband used pure aloe from the plant to rub on his neck every day after treatment. It really helped. His neck looked like a piece of worn leather. Fiery red and tight, The Aloe really helped. His skin peeled like a severe sunburn. The new skin was really good. It also helped on the incision site too. NOw after 12wks since his rad. you would never know by looking at his skin what he has been through. I wanted him to also drink the aloe juice but I couldn't get him to try it. Glad it worked for you. This is a slow process. Good luck to you both. LJ
