After radiotherapy, the skin in the radiation area atrophies and thins, and the soft tissue fibrosis and capillary dilation may occur. Radiation skin reactions may occur. Therefore, during radiotherapy, the local skin should be kept clean and dry. Sweat should be wiped off. Water ionization aggravates skin damage. High-necked or hard-collared clothes should not be worn. The skin in the irradiated field should not be scrubbed with soap, rough towels or hot water. Avoid direct sunlight when going out. When peeling occurs, do not tear or scratch it with your hands. You can sprinkle 1% borneol talcum powder on the affected area. Apply rescue oil to the affected area for wet reactions. Four times a day, expose the local area and keep it clean to prevent infection. In addition, the radiation field markings should be kept clear and must not be altered without permission, otherwise unnecessary damage will be caused.
