If you're reading this it might be too late, but there is new research on preventing severe radiation dermatitis that came out in 2023.  They had me wash with a chlorhexidine body cleaner (like Hibiclens, which you can buy over the counter at a place like Target) and put a little mupirocin (which requires a prescription) in my nose.  Google "bacterial decolonization for prevention of radiation dermatitis."  You may have to ask about this as it might not be standard practice yet.
