I call it my Fukushima-style suntan. It's all radiation burn, and in fact since I ended the radiation treatments last Thursday, it's been getting noticeably worse. It itches, it burns, it's sore, and of course all these same symptoms are manifest throughout the inside of my mouth and neck tissues, too. But it all makes sense if you follow what's going on with it vis-a-vis the immune system, I guess.
