• Patients who have received prior pelvic and/or inguinal radiation therapy.
• Patients who cannot apply the studied products to the inguinal region or have it administered to them as required by this study.
• Patients with any medical condition such as active connective tissue disorder that predisposes them to an increased risk of potentially severe radiation dermatitis.
• Patients with existing rashes or wounds in either inguinal region at baseline.
• Planned inguinal dissection within 90 days after completion of radiation therapy on this study.
• Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding.
