Literature review Management of erythema and skin preservation; advice for patients receiving radical radiotherapy to the breast: a systematic literature review

Patients should not be discouraged from washing with water or mild soaps and results suggest that the restriction of aluminiumfree deodorant during treatment is unnecessary; however, more research in this area is needed with larger sample sizes.
