Solutions: Managing Radiation Burns
Overview
For more detail, visit https://www.lindiskin.com/radiation-burns
A majority of people undergoing radiation therapy will endure some level of radiation burn. Radiation Burn (also called Readiation Dermatitis) is condition in which the skin of the treated area becomes red and irritated. Radiation kills not only cancer cells, but also some of the healthy cells. This causes the skin to discolor and often peel. Damage to the skin can occur within 1 to 2 weeks of treatment and usually resolves itself over time once the treatment period is complete.
The red irritation often looks and feels like a very bad sunburn and may be accompanied by hair loss, dry or wet peeling skin (desquamation), decreased sweating, edema, ulcerations, bleeding, and skin cell death. The extent of the symptoms depends on the total radiation dose, the size of the area treated, cellular fractionation, and the type of radiation used.
In severe radiation burn cases, the cancer treatment must be discontinued until the skin heals. However, discontinuing therapy can compromise treatment.

Suggested Care:
First and foremost, follow your doctor’s instructions. Your doctor will tell you how far in advance of each radiation treatment to avoid applying skincare to the area.
The best way to address radiation burn is to keep the area moisturized and apply topical agents that will help reduce skin cell inflammation, irritation and redness. Topical application of a hydrogel dressing after treatment can help soothe and cool the area. Lindi Skin Cooler Roll and Cooler Pad are infused with aloe and green tea to deliver soothing on-the-spot relief.
Once a hydrogel dressing is applied after treatment, it's best to keep the area highly moisturized and protected. Lindi Skin's Soothing Balm makes a perfect, emollient moisturizer for irradiated areas.
Suggested Product:
Lindi Skin Cooler Rolls deliver instant on-the-spot cooling and relief to Radiation Burns and sore, aggravated skin. The special properties of the Cooler Roll allows it to adhere to the skin without sticking. The hydro-gel dressing is primarily made of water infused with aloe and green tea. Aloe is widely known for its healing benefits, while Green Tea helps reduce redness and inflammation.
When placed on top of radiation burns or other skin irritations, the Cooler Roll creates a moist, healing environment that allows your skin to heal as quickly as possible. Normal dry & adhesive dressings often pull away the fresh layer of new skin cells when removed, but Lindi Skin Cooler Rolls are specially designed to leave the fresh cells undisturbed, promoting faster healing.
