As previously stated, skin damage does not present immediately (Horsby et al, 2005; Harris et al, 2011; Trueman, 2011) and in this patient group, skin reactions were noted during weeks three to five. Also, the dose of prescribed radiation did not appear to have an impact on the severity of skin reaction, which was attributed to the underlying general health of the patients, although interaction with the dressing could not be ruled out.
Two patients withdrew, one by day two as he could not tolerate any dressings on his neck; the second discontinued the evaluation at day six as the dressing was ‘too hot’. There was no mention of whether the patients were offered an alternative dressing regimen.
