Scalp pain

Hi all I'm staring to lose my hair through Chemotherapy, that ok was explained but I have a very painful scalp I can't touch it, has anyone else had this and how did you deal with it x

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I can imagine that this must be very uncomfortable for you.

    I came across an old Cancerchat post and you can see some of the suggestions here

    There is also some information on the Cancer Hair Care website here

    We do have some products on our website to help sensitive scalps which you can look at here

    Hopefully as time goes on your scalp should settle down.

    You have posted in 'ask the nurses' but you find that you get other suggestions if you post on a different thread.

    I hope this helps. if you want to get back to us about this or anything else then you are more then welcome to do so.

    Our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
