Radiodermatitis (radiation dermatitis, radiation-related skin reactions, or radiation damage) is a serious side effect of ionizing radiation during cancer therapy and nuclear attacks and disasters such as Fukushima in 2011. Specifically, 95% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy develop some form of radiation dermatitis, including erythema. , dry scale and moist scale. These skin reactions to radiation lead to countless complications, such as treatment delays, reduced aesthetic appeal, and reduced quality of life. Recent technological advances and new treatment regimens have only partially succeeded in alleviating these harmful side effects. The most common cause of radiation dermatitis is radiation therapy, which is used to treat cancer and other disorders. Disasters and nuclear assaults may also contribute to the condition. Retail pharmacies and online pharmacies are included in the distribution route.
Market Dynamics
Radiation dermatitis, also known as X-ray rash, radiation dermatitis, radiation skin reactions or radiation damage, is a side effect of external ionizing radiation. Radiation therapy, used to treat cancer or other diseases, is a leading cause of radiation dermatitis. Nuclear attacks and disasters can also cause the condition. For instance, on May 14, 2020, an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) explained none of the recommended products for patients are based on evidence-based practice, and the effectiveness of these products in preventing or treating radiation dermatitis is not reliable. It has previously been suggested that moist skin care with urea cream is effective in reducing the severity of acute skin reactions. In addition, recent reports have recommended the use of steroids, calendula, Hypericum perforatum, and neem oil for the treatment of acute radiodermatitis.
