Great question! Medline Remedy is a solid choice — your care team knows best. Many people going through radiation have found certain products especially soothing for their skin.

Here are some commonly recommended moisturizers and creams:

- Aquaphor — very popular for keeping skin barrier protected
- CeraVe — gentle and fragrance-free
- Eucerin — widely recommended for sensitive, dry skin
- Aveeno — another gentle, fragrance-free option
- Aloe vera — some find this naturally soothing
- Calendula lotion — one MyBCTeam member found it really helpful during treatment For soaps and shower gels, the key is to look for mild, unscented options. Note that "fragrance-free" is actually better than "unscented" — unscented products can still contain masking fragrances.

A few tips when washing:

- Use warm (not hot or cold) water
- Wash gently with your hands, not a loofah
- Pat dry — never rub
- Avoid letting the shower stream hit the treated area directly

Always check with your care team before switching products, as they may have specific recommendations for your skin.
