With skin cancer, the area being treated is likely to be affected by the radiation, leaving your skin red and sore, rather like sunburn, towards the end of treatment. (Again, for information on helpful radiation cream, see Chapter 7.) Individuals vary in their sensitivity to radiation. The same dose may produce a severe skin reaction in one person and only a mild reaction in another. As a rule, symptoms are worse towards the end of treatment, often reaching a peak after four or five weeks.
