I used prescription Biafine on my skin and it was wonderful. As Christine says, nothing on the face or neck when you go for radiation. Put the cream on after you get home. Biafine is also supposed to help prevent you from burning. Instructions say start to use two weeks before you start rads. My RO also said to wash with only Dove or Olay soaps, others dry skin too much.
Take care,
Eileen
