Help someone I need to talk to someone, is this normal?

I think it is very unlikely that it is skin cancer. Reactions to radiation vary greatly from person to person. Some have severe reactions and some breeze through it with no problems. Most of us are somewhere in between. All are normal. Please don't add extra worry. Good luck and try not to relax (hard I know).

Radiation burns -- some people have it worse than others. So sorry you are experiencing these things!   Skin tone doesn't seem to matter.  Your Radiation Onc should be giving you more advice about this.  Insist upon it. Remember, they work for you!!   Silvadene, a prescription,helped me greatly.  My skin was red as a tomato and it peeled 2 weeks after I was done with Rads.  Everyone is different.  And do get that skin out in the air.

It's normal -- I experienced virtually the EXACT same under breast red raw weepy issues that you are experiencing. Best and only thing that provided relief was good old fashion air. No contact with anything (yes, made for some interesting positioning), my skin peeled and weeped a lot, it really was red rock lobster, which I hadn't expected both because I tan well and also because I followed all of the pre- and post-treatment skin care advice. Just unlucky.  And I, too, had boosts, and the rawness started healing as soon as the focus was shifted away from total breast and just on the scar targeted area.

Just hang in there, it is amazing how fast everything recovers!!!! PM if I can be of further assistance, been there, done that.

You just described what I went through.  I finished rads 4 days ago and am completely healed.  Here is what healed me and greatly reduced my pain.  

1. Miaplex applied (it's a bandage) and left on for two days then changed.  It pulls the moisture out of the wound allowing it to heal and doesn't affect rads or pull healthy skin off.  

2. Silvadene on the areas that aren't to bad. 

3. Lidocaine jelly on none open areas for pain. 

I had a very severe reaction to rads.  So I can empathize.  I promise I am in no pain now, I have no open or red areas and I feel great.  

I was none traditionally treated at my rads center. I'm very good friends with a surgeon and he was so upset when he saw my wounds he went to see my RO.  They formulated this plan to get me well and it worked beautifully and kept me from taking a break in treatment.  I suspect it will be used in future treatments for people with severe burns. Good luck to you and hang in there!!!
