Ugh. That's awful about the radiation.

Have you ever tried vitamin E, or inquired about it? It might depend on how long ago the radiation was, but vitamin E is good for healing, and good for skin.

Try a store that might have cream options for you. I mean a good place, like Willner's, which carries a range of products and has knowledgeable sales help if you call with questions.

And excuse the obvious question, but have you asked a few dermatologists?

Thanks. I have not asked anyone. I really don't think a topical product would do much.

I really didn't even realize my neck WAS in the radiation zone but there's no other explanation for the obvious difference from one side of my neck to the other.

Ugh, sorry to hear about the radiation and now the after effects.

Coincidentally, I was just at the dermatologist last week for a regular skin check and saw an ad for a product they were peddling, called Kybella. It seems to be some sort of injectable treatment to help with double chin and turkey neck. Not sure if that is something that could work for you.

What about trying to find a local dermatologist for a consult? I was stunned to see the list of services offered, both medical and cosmetic, at the particular location I went.

Good luck.

A neck lift is usually part of a complete face-lift.

I had a turkey neck early on, in my 40s and got a face lift. Presto! The neck of a 20 year old. It IS aging. The week following surgery, I was dating a 30 year old, LOL. Dating prospects shot way up!

It still looks good even at 65, though some slight sags are re-emerging.

Brow lift, facelift and neck lift all at the same time looks great. I do see people who get the facelift without the necklift and it is telling for a few thousand more a complete lift would be better asthetically. Elizabeth Taylor had four facelifts and didn't do her hands in the end and it was telling. She denied the facelifts but come on.

I know a woman in her 40's who just had a chemical peel done to her hands as she felt they looked older than the rest of her. We haven't seen the final results yet.

Have you consulted with one or two top dermatologists?

Do what French women do and wear scarves. I love this website with lots of videos of creative ways to tie different sized scarves.

I think that whether something topical would work might have to do with how long ago the damage was, and whether it was some OTC topical or something fancy from a dermatologist. Also, maybe vitamin E internally.

Do you think it might be from a radiology treatment?
