Take a shower using a gentle jet. If you would prefer to take a bath, ensure that you are using a neutral soap, soap-free alternative or a gentle oil and use lukewarm water, not too hot. Do not rub the area with a flannel, use your hands to wash. Gently pat the skin dry, do not rub. Dry the folds of the skin with care. If using deodorant, it may be easier to apply with a roll on so that you have more control over application, do not use on broken skin. Use an electric razor in the event of radiation to the throat, neck, or arm pit. Do not use aftershave/perfumes if the skin is broken or sore. PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR OWN RADIOTHERAPY CENTRE IN CASE THEIR ADVICE DIFFERS FROM THE ABOVE.
