hi I had treatment for DCIS 4 months ago . Had breast conserving surgery then radiotherapy , i had a very bad radiation burn under my breast which eventually healed. Now I have intense ibtching and discolouration of skin under my breast . I do have large breasts and this doesn’t help . Does anyone have any tips as to what creams I can use. Have tried Sudacrem and Epiderm cream with no luck

Greetings Sister/Warrior/ I used Aquaphor, and pure leaf Aloe Vera Gel. The burn mark is not even visible😇🙏

Unfortunately the itching is normal as the nerve endings of the breast heals. I would not advise using anything on your breast without speaking to either the breast care nurses or your GP. Best wishes.
