A member asked:

Please help! what is the best treatment for radiation burns from cancer treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ointments : Radiation burns to the skin should be treated conservatively with steroid ointments if they can help.. If the damage is severe, resection with skin grafting or pedicle flaps may have to be employed.
