Udderly yours?

Hi all,

I read somewhere-- I think on this forum-- about a great cream to use during radiation.  It is called "udderly yours" and supposedly was first developed for cows being milked.  Has anyone heard of it, and know where I can get it?  If not, can you suggest something else?  I start rads in tow weeks.  Thanks

    I used emu oil and did not burn at all. Loved it and you can get it at a health food store. Costs about 13.00 and I used two.

    This is what my RO swears by.  I was able to get the fragrance-free version at CVS.

    ETA:  I feel utterly bovine every time I use Udderly Smooth.  Bad pun.  Sorry.

    My RO wants me to use Udderly Smooth too.  I guy a large jar at CVS for something like $6.50.  One of the ingredients is lanolin oil and I know when I was a kid I had to use the pure lanolin oil on my skin for dryness.  The jar states "greaseless and stainless" and I've found that to be true.  It's best to ask your RO what he or she wants you to use as they seem to have a favorite.

    lol Maybe!  

    What is going to work on you is probably very individual, eh?  I haven't really used anything yet because I received a sample of miaderm and that's what's recommended at my place.  Haven't bothered to order it yet because the expense is annoying - hope I don't regret that too much, probably will though.  Going to suck up the cost and go order it now.  Meh.

    My RO had Udderly Smooth samples and I liked it so I ordered online from Walgreens because I couldnt' find it in several stores, but now I'm finding it everywhere.  It isn't greasy and is pretty light.  I did order Miaderm and I just started using it this week when I started to get red.  I alternate between Udderly Smooth, Calendula Cream and now Miaderm.  I figured it would help on the cost if I used Miaderm sparingly.  All of them seem to help.
