Skin Care

Bathe with warm water. (Hot water can cause skin dryness.)
Use a mild soap.
It's better to take short showers or baths instead of spending a long time in hot water, and applying creams or lotions can be helpful.
Perfumes, colognes, and aftershaves that contain alcohol can cause skin dryness and irritation.
Avoid taking more than one full bath or shower a day, unless necessary.
Do not expose the area of bedsores to cold or wind.
Drink water frequently.

Bathing with a mild soap can have a soothing effect.
Applying a lotion that softens the skin after a bath can be helpful.
Avoid applying products containing fragrances and alcohol to your skin.
Take the medication prescribed for itching.
Do not scratch or rub your skin.
Wear clean white gloves. (This is to prevent unconscious scratching.)
Avoid exposing your skin directly to strong sunlight, heat, or cold.
Wear loose clothing made of soft fibers like cotton, and change your bed sheets daily.
Avoid drinking alcohol or coffee.
Distract your attention. (For example, with your favorite TV program, radio, book, or friends)
Keep your nails trimmed and clean.

Aim to avoid exposure to direct sunlight as much as possible, particularly between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when UV activity is at its strongest.
Avoid exposure to sun lamps (used for skin disease treatment and beauty) and do not sunbathe.
Use a sunscreen product (one with a sun protection factor of 15 or more) and apply it 15 to 30 minutes before going out.
Wear long-sleeved cotton clothes to block sunlight, as well as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.

Be careful not to erase the treatment marks when showering.
Take care not to irritate or injure the skin at the treatment site.
It's advised to avoid using deodorants, perfumes, and cosmetics.
In cases where shaving is necessary in the treatment area, it's recommended to use an electric shaver.
Avoid swimming during treatment and for several months afterward.
Avoid contact with hot substances and refrain from using tapes or disposable bands.
Wear clothing made of pure cotton that fits loosely against your skin.
Avoid direct sunlight, and provide shading if exposed to the sun.
If your skin becomes dry after radiation therapy, apply a gentle, water-based cream or lotion about twice a day. Avoid rubbing, scratching, or massaging the treated area.
If you develop a moist skin reaction after radiation therapy, keep the area dry and be particularly cautious where the skin overlaps.
If possible, expose the affected area to air and consult your doctor if redness, swelling, or blisters occur.
