Hey All - just wanted to pass on a product that my RO nurse recommended for both my Erbitux rash and on-coming radiation "burns."
If I had known it would work as well as it has I would have RUN to Whole Foods to get it immediately!
It's an all natural product called Calendula made from the marigold flower - I bought the Calendula cream (www.boironusa.com) and Calendula Salve (www.calendulaskincare.com)
I did a search for "calendula" on this site and nothing came up so not sure if you all know about it and have been keeping it a secret from the Newbies (kidding of course!!) Anyways, I have no connection to these companies whatsoever - my skin just let out a long HUGE sigh of relief the moment I put it on that I just had to pass it on to any of you who might be struggling with skin issues.

Make sure you do not put lotion on prior to having your radiation treatments. After you are finished is alright to put lotion on but never before.

Thanks Christine - good reminder since I want to bathe in it and I have radiation in an hour!
