How to prevent and soothe radiodermatitis after radiotherapy?
Radiodermatitis is a frequent side effect of radiotherapy in cancer patients. It is similar to a skin burn, like sunburn, and corresponds to an inflammatory reaction of the skin. Its appearance depends on the irradiation technique used, the dose of radiation received and the area treated. The peak of the cutaneous reaction may occur between 7 and 10 days after the end of the radiotherapy sessions, and may last for several months. Specific treatments for sensitive and irritated skin can help prevent radiodermatitis, limit its severity and relieve it when it does occur.
