Radiotherapy-related erythema

Radiotherapy's impact on the skin can lead to dryness and peeling in the treated area, often accompanied by itching and redness. This condition, known as radiodermatitis or radiation dermatitis, resembles severe sunburn and may include swelling. Approximately 95% of patients undergoing radiotherapy experience some form of radiodermatitis, such as erythema or skin peeling. Preventative measures are crucial to minimize skin issues related to radiotherapy, emphasizing daily skin nourishment, hydration. DEXERYL provides support through emollient care with DEXERYL Emollient Cream.

Healthy skin weakened by radiotherapy should use an appropriate hygiene product such as DEXERYL Cleansing Oil.
