DermoRelizema Cream
The treatment will be applied since about 7 (±3) days prior to RT start and will continue until 14 days post RT end DermoRelizema cream: Fingertip units (FTU) depending from the extent of the affected skin to treat, two times per day for 7 (±3) days prior RT until about 14 (±3) days post RT end. The product can be used for further 2 weeks (from V3 to V4) in case of need, according to the investigator's judgment
Dexeryl
The treatment will be applied since 7 (±3) days prior to RT start and will continue until 14 days post RT end (98-112 applications in total). Dexeryl: FTUs depending on the extent of the affected skin to treat, two times per day. The treatment will be applied since 7 (±3) days prior to RT start and will continue until 14 days post RT end (98-112 applications in total).

Population: Evaluation of the severity of radiation dermatitis by the investigator

Evaluation of the severity of radiation dermatitis by the investigator using the Radiation Dermatitis Severity (RDS) scoring scale. The severity of radiation dermatitis was measured using this scoring system, range 0.0 to 4.0 at increments of 0.5. The RDS score incorporates changes in redness, pigment, texture and integrity of the skin ( grade 0: best result, grade 4§: worst result)
