I completed radiation over 21 months ago but have developed a red 'rash' over the site of my radical neck dissection. It began as a small red area and has now spread upwards apparently following the scar line area. It is non itchy or sore, with spots of dry skin. Has been there about 4 months. Only bothers me because it is there! Allergy etc has been ruled out.
Has anyone had similar and how was it treated? Cortisone cream?
I'd be grateful for any clues, love and light from Helen

lotion on it. What part of Australia are you
from?
