Radiation dermatitis (adjunct)

3 plants

The Pommier-era calendula ointment trial is why this plant is on the page. It is adjunctive skin care, not a reason to skip the radiation oncology skin sheet. Aloe inner gel is mixed for this indication. Skip oil-based DIY in the beam path unless the team says otherwise. Moist desquamation is wound care, not more cream from a forum.

When this is not enough

Moist desquamation, suspected infection in the field, neutropenia, a product the radiation team has not cleared
