Hi Caradombed, I know just how you feel. As well as using the cream, my oncologist/radiologist told me to take antihistamine tablets. Hope this helps.

thanks for your reply . I do take an antihistamines but it wears off and you can only take 1 a day. My practice nurse has said to try 1% hydro cortisone with epiderm cream .

Greetings Sister/warrior I used Aquaphor ointment, along with natural Aloe LeafGgel 15 years ago. Now I can barely see my scar from my lumpectomy, and Lymph node removal.😇✝️. Sorry for the late response. I finally purchased a new laptop, after my old laptop started malfunctioning, and could not be updated., or repaired 😊
