Can I use cortisone cream during radiation treatment?

My radiation dept had hydrocortisone cream on hand. Ok to use it!

I use itch relief clear skin from CVS Health. It's cooling and doesn't have a residue.

I used cbd ointment. It really helps.

My doctor prescribed Silvadene for me It was very soothing.

Radiation-induced skin reactions like itching are very common during breast cancer treatment, and it's completely understandable to seek relief when it's affecting your sleep. It's really important to check with your radiation oncology team before using any topical products during treatment, as some creams can interfere with radiation or worsen skin reactions. Many treatment centers have specific guidelines about which products are safe to use, and they may be able to recommend gentle alternatives or adjust your care plan to help manage this uncomfortable side effect.
