Malignant tumors are the most dangerous diseases that affect the whole mankind. Although medical and pharmacological methods of treatment improve constantly, the treatment of malignant tumors is still connected with a high risk of adverse effects of the treatment. It is mostly related to radiotherapy, which causes general (e.g. discomfort and ill-being) and local side effects - it damages the patient's skin in the area that is directly exposed to radiation. Very serious side effect is radiodermatitis as a post-radiation skin damage. Such damages of the skin require appropriate treatment and nursing care, both during the therapy and after the treatment is finished. Many patients search for cosmetic products that could restore the healthy state of their skin, previously damaged by radiation.
