Flamigel RT - Mine has run out. Can I get a prescription from my GP or is there something else I can use instead?

I finished my radiotherapy 10 days ago and my Flamigel RT had run out. I was advised to use a minimum of 14 days after my last session.

Should I ask my GP for a prescription or can I use something like Aveeno skin relief.

My skin isn’t broken just red and a little sore  feels like sunburn.

I have message my local cancer co ordinator but they haven’t come back as yet just don’t want to do something wrong. 

Thank you 

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your recent radiotherapy treatment.

    It is best to use the flamigel for a minimum of 2 weeks after radiotherapy has completed so I would ask your GP to prescribe this for you. I think you can also buy over the counter at pharmacies too.

    Hope this is helpful and the rest of your recovery problem free.

    Take care
