    My oncologist suggested using corn starch for sensitivity and burning senstations. It seems to work, but I only have a very mild case of irritation 2 weeks into radiation.

    Almost 2 months since surgery and I still have  occassionally pain from the nerve endings but nothing intolerable, so far.

    dseko-

    Kmart  and Walmart carriy a wonderful old school  medicated cornstarch powder called Mexsana. I used it a lot during radiation and it was wonderful.  Still use it for the moisture 'under the girls'. Cheap and works better than $$$ products and not as clumpy as baby powder. Its good for all parts of the body.
