The doctor prescribed a product called Biafine for my radiation burns and it really did wonders. First they had me do some soaks with a product called Dromeboro to dry up the skin then apply the cream. It really worked well and also seemed to lessen the appearance of some of my scars. Be sure to ask your doctor to prescribe something to relieve it.
