 The purpose of this study is to illustrate the value of moisturizing cream in preventing the acute skin side effects induced by radiotherapy and helps nursing care. Thirty three patients with radiotherapy for head and neck cancer from January 2011 to September 2013 were enrolled with their consent. Patients were ineligible if they had undergone tracheotomy or they had not had whole neck field radiotherapy excluding larynx cancer patients. Using the envelope method, we divided patients into those using moisturizing cream (n=16) those not using cream (n=17).

 The moisturizing cream was applied gently twice a day, after the radiotherapy treatment and before going to bed. During treatment patients underwent daily subjective and objective assessments. We classified these assessments from 0 to 6 step by step and totaled these scores.

 We analyzed these scores using a statistical method (Mann-Whitney U test).

 As a result, the patients using moisturizing cream displayed a delay in appearance symptoms and significant lower scores subjective and objective assessment than the patients not using moisturizing cream (60Gy: 67.7 vs. 88.4 p<0.01, 66Gy: 83.9 vs. 112.3 p<0.01, 70Gy: 94.5 vs. 127.3 p<0.05).

 Using moisturizing cream prevents the worsening of radiation dermatitis and relieves the symptoms induced by radiation dermatitis.
