Most Common Side Effects of Radiation Therapy. Skin reaction: A common side effect of radiation therapy is skin irritation in the area of the body that is being treated.

Radiation-related skin problems. When radiation therapy is used on cancer cells, it also affects healthy skin cells. This can cause the skin to peel, itch, or hurt.
