It hurts like he!! but I used a fairly warm wash cloth and soaked my neck then used the silver sulfadine and the aquaphor. It helped but I had to take off work for a week because I couldn't wear a shirt....plus I looked so bad I didn't want to scare anyone. Once I stopped rad treatments, I was almost back to normal in two weeks.
