My back is peeling

It's been about 2 weeks now since my full field radiation treatments were completed.  I got burned pretty good.  My underarm, back and chest was really red.  I slathered my front with Aquaphor but couldn't always get my back so it seemed like it didn't heal as quickly as the other areas.  Well I could tell my back was getting ready to peel.  First it itched like mad, then it bubbled up and now it's peeling.  It's so weird to see my body go from winter white to pink to red to peeling and now tanning without even stepping out in the sun.  And what's crazy is, of course it's only my left side. Oh well, that's life with treatment for breast cancer.

I'll have to post a photo when I download them off my camera.
