Skin care tips before starting radiation therapy

Hey.
Anyone here dealt with using natural oils on the skin before starting radiation therapy? Trying to figure out how to prevent skin damage...
Like, would something like black seed oil be okay, or could using those kinds of oils actually make things worse?

For instance, would applying something like black seed oil be harmful or counterproductive?

You absolutely should not put anything on your skin before or after radiation treatments. There's a constant risk that certain substances contain metallic ions that can actually worsen the burns caused by the radiation.
