Dealing with radiation-induced skin irritation can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it's affecting your daily comfort. Many patients in this community have shared similar experiences with skin reactions during treatment, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by persistent itching. Consider discussing additional management options with your radiation oncology team, as they may have specific recommendations based on your treatment plan and can evaluate whether any adjustments might help provide relief.
