Scalp

Hi after having chemo I get a sore scalp itchy and sore spots that go after about a week what can I do for this 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    The skin can become very sensitive when having chemotherapy treatment. You can moisturise the skin with some unperfumed products such as Epaderm, Hydromol or Double base to see if that helps.

    Do let your chemotherapy team know so they can assess you. They may also prescribe you an antihistamine to help with the itching.

    I hope this improves for you soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
