Hello DawnHoffman. Yes it is good to continue to take care of you skin after your treatments always. I still use Aquaphor and prescription cream Radiaplex over my whole body. Drinking plenty of water helps too. My skin looks great. I have been Anastrozole 3 years now no side effects just only fatigue sometimes. Take care and God bless 🌹😊🙏

The answer is YES. You might also be very swollen and red. After my radiation treatments were done I didn't even realize that my skin had turned a ashy color. Like left over charcoal ash from a bbq grill. The only way I noticed it was after I went for a after visit with my breast surgeon. I couldn't figure out why the nurse, doctor, and student were staring at me. It took a while for my skin to turn back to my normal color which is white plus the swelling takes time to go down also. Only thing that helped was to moisturize the area and even the arm pit area. Eventually the ashy part gradually started to peel off.

Yes, you should continue to moisturize your skin after your final radiation session. It can take a while for your skin to heal completely. It is also common for your skin to blister and peel during the weeks after you've had your final radiation session.

My radiation oncologist had given me a sample of the Aquaphor, but I found it difficult to spread around on my skin due to the consistency and didn't like it. With my doctor's approval I used Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion for dry to very dry and sensitive skin which is really easy to spread around.

The burn continues for 2 weeks after, so yes.
Congratulations on getting through radiation!
