Show you care: Your care basket shows that you are thinking of your friend or loved one, so include anything that you think will help them feel better. They may also appreciate a good quality skin lotion for any drying or irritation of the skin secondary to external beam radiation treatments.

Hydrating ointment: Depends on body part receiving radiation. Hydrating ointments like 100% aloevera is usually a safe bet.

Body lotion: 12 percent amlactin actually penetrates the lipid barrier and moisturizes from the inside out. It comes in lotion and cream. It dos not just sit on the surface.
