It's take some weeks after radiation to have a normal fuction of the aera that the radiotherapy was uesed. You can use;
Creams: Calendula ointment and silver sulfadiazine cream are considered effective topical treatments

Silver sulfadiazine cream, an antibacterial agent, can be used

Low-dose topical corticosteroids might help reduce irritation and inflammation
