Miaderm Radiation Relief Lotion, 2 Pack

***Update on May 18, 2017: Now that I have completed all 33 of my radiation treatments, I can give a better evaluation of the lotion. I am glad I purchased the two-pack lotion. I fully completed using one tube, and almost all of the second tube during my process. Usually, I used it twice a day on my full right breast and under my arm, even before I noticed any changes to my skin; as these were the areas impacted by the radiation. It was soothing to my skin. Did not damage or stain my clothing. I continue to use the lotion over a week later after radiation was completed, as I am now peeling and the lotion continues to offer comfort and moisture to the impacted area. This product had been recommended by someone I met personally during my chemo process; she had been a radiation educator before moving on to the chemo field. I am so glad I found this product on line, because it does not appear to be available in pharmacies. I asked her whether I should purchase the one with Ladocaine, but she said that would be more for patients with maybe a rectal cancer, as the ladocaine numbs the area of skin. She did not feel I would need it for the radiation I was receiving. She was right - I didn't feel I needed that extra ingredient. I highly recommend this lotion to anyone who will be receiving radiation. I believe it has helped me. Of course, you should always consult with your radiation oncologist before making that decision. I have no regrets. *** original message: Received the Miaderm Relief Lotion. I received it just five days ago, after only having received four treatments. I will be monitoring how well it does during my total of 33 treatments and comment again. I am praying this will keep me from the severe sunburn and blistering effects of the radiation that I have heard about. I do like the feel of the lotion. (Update inserted above after treatment completed)

I started using a thick petroleum product on my breast during the first two weeks of a six week radiation treatment. After a checkup with my radiologist, he recommended Miaderm to me after his other patients said they liked it. I did not care for how the petroleum product I was using felt, nor how it greased up my bra and shirt. I only have three more days of treatment left and my therapists asked me today what I have been using. Because my breast skin looks so healthy. It is only slightly pink. No burn damage, no dryness or flaking, no blisters. I really like applying it right when I get home from treatment. It cools the burning feeling and softens and heals my skin. No pain, no itch, no redness. If it seems expensive, well, how much is preserving your skin from radiation damage? I think it is worth the cost to avoid the pain, stress and distress. Apply first thing in the morning, after your appointment, and right before bed. Good luck and best wishes as you journey through breast cancer treatments.

For the first three weeks of radiation treatment for breast cancer, I used Aquaphor based on my's doctor's recommendation. Since I had no symptoms, I was content to use it. That weekend I started to get a terrible burning sensation and realized within hours the Aquaphor was making it feel worse, not better. The wonderful nurses where I go for radiation immediately gave me samples of Miaderm - which I have renamed Miraclederm - and I had instant relief. The local pharmacy that carries it is out of stock and can't get any in. Before I even checked with them, I ordered it on Amazon on a Tuesday night with prime delivery not until Friday. The nurses gave me more samples to get me through. I wish I had known about it earlier. They hesitate to offer it because it is so expensive. I think I caught it in time and only had one day of discomfort. It is expensive; but I can't think of anything better to spend your money on when you are being treated for breast cancer. My skin is red but no sores, itching or blisters. Just don't use it a few hours before your treatment. I put it on in the dressing room immediately after. My question to the manufacturer - has this product been found to be beneficial for any other skin conditions? And thank you for creating this product!

I bought this cream on the recommendation of my radiologist. The doctor's office provides samples in small little containers as this cream is not available by prescription through insurance. I have used it 3 times a day since beginning treatments and just finished #7 so far. I apply after treatment, later in the day and before bed. I was told not to use less than two hours before treatment. So far, my skin feels very soft and moisturized. I would prefer unscented, but the light scent is not offensive. It is an expensive cream and was surprised I wasn't offered "free shipping" since it was certainly over a $25 sale. Let's hope it continues to keep me moisturized and supple throughout the course of my treatment. I am hoping that I ordered enough.

Cream works just fine ..It was the delivery time that it was a disappointment.i ordered it from Amazon because it said the delivery time would be 2 days well it was not in two days my treatment was started without my cream ..so disappointed

Miaderm Radiation Relief Lotion 2 Pack A week ago I finished 28 treatments of radiation for breast cancer (including lymph nodes/armpit) and used Miaderm 2-3 times per day during treatment and continue to do so. The skin irritation, burning and peeling was less than expected, which impressed my radiation oncologist and his nursing staff, and the post-treatment healing was quicker than anticipated as well. When I went for my initial pre-treatment consult, I was given a list of options to use on the irradiated area of my skin. I was told that the results they had seen with patients using Miaderm was consistently better than the other options. Also, it does not stain clothes. It was also the most expensive, but clearly worth the money.

A friend recommended Miaderm to me to help with radiation burns. I used it in one area to test while simultaneously using an aloe vera ointmemt in another. While Miaderm offered somewhat of a cool relief when the burns got a little intense, it didnt do much for healing the skin. My friend has a lighter skin tone and mine is much darker, so perhaps that was a factor. I probably wouldn't purchase this again for this purpose. I experienced much more relief and healing with the aloe vera.

This stuff is amazing! I am not that easy to please and my skin is fussy. But it is amazing! my chest was itchy with small blisters and the fold under my breast was raw and weeping. Its was awful.... The radiation oncologist got some samples of "new stuff" and wanted to know if I would like to try it out. Yes, please! the other system wasn't working..... It did sting a little on the open skin but boy oh boy was it worth it!!! 3 days later no open skin, no blisters, no itchy bumps and I could sleep at night. Its still a little pink but that's all. I can not recommend this enough. I bet its even better if you use it from the beginning. absolutely grateful for this product. Karen Brown
