If it was prescribed by the hospital and breast nurse than l should say its safe to use.They can also give you pads to place over the burns.

I was burned badly too .Mistake l made was going to my GP who prescribed steroid cream ..

It does heal eventually but may take some time.

I also used FSC vitamin E oil throughout the procedure and still using two years later..

I use aloe vera from the plant leaf. There are creams as well. This is a long-known burn treatment.
