In the case of an open wound after radiation therapy, you should always consult the doctor who performed the treatment for recommendations on further care and the use of ointments or dressings. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

In the case of a wound after radiotherapy, antiseptics containing chlorhexidine can be used, e.g. Octenisept: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87829/octenisept-aerozol-aerozol/apteki

In addition, it is worth using specialist burn dressings in the treatment of burns after radiotherapy (in various degrees of severity) that cool, moisturize the skin, absorb exudate, protect against bacteria, and facilitate healing, e.g. HydroTac Transparent: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/107445/hydrotac-transparent-opatrunek/apteki

A cream dedicated to wounds after radiotherapy is Argotiab. Creams with silver ions have antifungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties on wounds. Argotiab® 2% cream and dry spray with silver are helpful in the regeneration of the skin and tissues, affect the healing process, minimize the pain associated with dressing changes, improve the maintenance of moisture in tissues and reduce the risk of hypertrophic scars.

The absolute basis of skin care after radiotherapy is to maintain proper hygiene. When washing and wiping yourself, you have to be very gentle. No sponges or rough towels are used – just a shower, lukewarm water and pH-neutral detergents. During this time, tight-fitting clothes are avoided, as they could chafe the skin damaged by counseling and intensify the radiation reaction. It must not be exposed to the sun or aggressive cosmetics, such as deodorants. On the other hand, the skin needs to be moisturized and nourished regularly, e.g. with preparations with allantoin (e.g. Alantan), which will also slightly alleviate the annoying symptoms.
