Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Has anyone had any personal experience with radiation burn and irritation in the anal area from cancer treatments? If you've had this type of burn in that specific area, was there anything that truly was soothing to use to help with the pain? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have never had that type of burn, but I do frequently take detox baths. This one claims to help with radiation burns. If you try it, I would use sea salt. SALT AND SODA: This bath counteracts the effects of radiation, whether from X-rays, cancer treatment radiation, fallout from the atmosphere, or television radiation. 1 cup of baking soda and 1 to 2 cups of ordinary coarse salt (or epsom salts or sea salt) to a tub of water. You can soak for 20 minutes. , " Jean " <fjd2002 wrote: > > Has anyone had any personal experience with radiation burn and > irritation in the anal area from cancer treatments? > > If you've had this type of burn in that specific area, was there > anything that truly was soothing to use to help with the pain? > > Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. > > > Jean > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hello Jean, I have always been told that Aloe was good for burns, but I never realized just how well it can work. I had burned my hand rather badly while camping. It hurt so much and nothing seemed to help. I didn't have a lot of options available either. I did have a jar of Aloe Gel with me and began putting it on the burn. It seemed to help but dried out quickly and the pain came back. I instinctively put a lot more on the next time and found it took longer for the pain to return. It took several applications, but I was finally able to go to sleep and the burn was almost visably healed by morning. Since that time, Aloe Gel is always in my home and on trips. I have also used it on sensitive areas as you describe with great results. I am not sure how well it will work on radiation burns, but the trick is to apply a lot of it and often. It is not an expensive item. You can buy a bottle of gel in most drug stores. Sending you love and light...
