My husband was 11 day's post rad when the side of his neck

Anybody out there that has experiance this.

I had radiation 3 year's ago for tongue base cancer. Not only was my mouth burnt up, the last week of radiation my neck starting oozing because it was burnt so bad . I had a per medicated bandage that cost 25.00 for 2 , but it did the trick. My neck healed beautiful with a tan. It's still very sensitive to the sun. I wish I could say my mouth healed like that. My inside cheeks still look like someone put a match to them and my mouth is very sensitive and even biotene mouth wash burns bad. I wish I knew the name of the badage . Sorry.. I do hope he finds something to help. I remember it being so painful to have water hit my neck in the shower.
Blessings,
