Self-Care Tips for Getting Through Radiation

Self-Care Tips for Getting Through Radiation

12th Jul 2023

It is common to experience side effects from slightly bothersome to extremely incapacitating if you are getting radiation. Your medical team’s recommended self-care regimen can aid in easing the discomfort, redness, and irritability that are associated with radiation dermatitis.

It’s crucial to stick to your self-care routine even if you haven’t yet noticed these symptoms in order to lessen how severe they will be in the days to come.

We’ve put together some self-care advice on how to cope with radiation treatment and some of the side effects. For additional information, contact our team at TriDerma.

Basic Tips

To ease itching and irritation, try applying unscented moisturizing lotion. Use a lotion without lanolin or aloe vera instead, as these ingredients can be quite irritating. You might ask your doctor to prescribe a medicinal lotion if the itching persists.

The risk of infection can be decreased by keeping the radiation-affected region clean. Wash the afflicted area with lukewarm water and mild or unscented soap, then pat dry with a soft towel as opposed to wiping the water off.

Should you need to shave the radiation-damaged region, use an electric razor.

Deodorant and antiperspirant should not be applied to skin that is damaged or blistered.

Peeling loose skin should be avoided if your skin is dry and flaky. Allow it to fall off naturally.

If you notice fluid dripping from the treated area, gently wipe the area with a soft cloth dipped in 0.9 percent sterile saline solution, which you may purchase from a pharmacy. Make sure the saline solution is free of preservatives because they irritate skin that has been exposed to radiation.

If you’re going outside in the sun, wear sunscreen, but avoid exposure to the sun as much as possible.

Avoid utilizing saunas and hot baths.

For comfort, try donning loose-fitting cotton garments and underwire-free bras.
