I have had breast cancer surgery and finished radiotherapy last Wednesday.  I now have what feels, and looks, like prickly heat where the radiotherapy was targeted.  Is this normal and what creams can I use.  I am currently using E45 (recommended by the hospital) and was prescribed hydrocortisone for burning but can only use that for a week.  I am 52 years old.  Thanks.
Hi, thanks for writing to ChatDoctor.it is possible to get allergic reactions at the site of radiotherapy. You are using an emollient which reduces itchiness. You could consult your doctor and also use aqua based shower gels like hiatus and creams like Life containing (e.g. hyaluronic acid, glycerin and aloe vera). Take care. Chat Doctor.
