When my neck got so burned at the end of treatment, my nurses gave me these gel bandages to help with the healing. They come in sheets and you cut off the size you need for the different areas. I probably looked pretty weird there for a couple weeks as I applied the gel patches all over my neck. They really helped with the healing and it felt good on too. My skin didn't dry out and crack like it did before I had the gel stuff. I don't know the name, but I am sure someone else on here or your RO nurse could help you.
Hang in there it won't be long before the treatments are over and things will be heading in a positive direction.
