Please don't ignore the "sunburn" or try to tough it out. Keep on top of it despite the other symptoms. The posters have given you excellent advice as usual. No gel/lotion etc during actual treatment and try all the doctor's samples in the waiting room (Aquaphor, etc) Start experimenting with creams and bug the doctors, nurses and techs for alternatives if something doesn't work. In the very beginning, my RO recommended Burt's Bee Salve and it worked really well for me but it did not last. Although Burt's lip balm worked the entire TX time. Hope you are one of those who just sail through this burn wise.
