actually, go ahead. It's kinda funny. My radiation oncologist, when asked, didn't really have a specific cream recommendation that I should use. He said just to make sure I use something. I've tried several different types of moisturizers, body butter, aloe vera, hydrocortisone cream, etc while going through radiation. They all helped but nothing has worked 100% to deal with the itching, dryness, peeling, and discomfort. I guess that's expected. Everyone handles this radiation differently, but for me, the thing that probably has helped the most is Bag Balm... yep, it's actually a product made for cows' utters. It doesn't smell the best... but it's helping and that's what matters, right.
