To help manage pain after radiation therapy, your friend can try over-the-counter pain relievers (with a doctor's approval), prescription medications, topical treatments, cool compresses, gentle skincare, loose clothing, proper nutrition and hydration, and seek emotional support.

One needs to understand the cause of the pain and discuss the situation with the doctors.
Treating skin lesions with emollients etc. is number one. CBD tends to help with the pain also. Whole hemp product is best perhaps with 10 or 20 mg of CBD added to the whole hemp. It may be necessary to take the hemp several times a day
