Hi,
Skin irritation and breast discomfort can happen after radiotherapy. The symptoms begin within a few weeks of starting treatment and go away on their own within 6 months after treatment ends.
If symptoms are severe you can take mild analgesics like Ibuprofen or Naproxen for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
