Sore scalp during chemo

Anyone have any suggestions for reliving a sore, itcy scalp caused by chemotherapy? I've tried using a sensitive shampoo and adding conditioner to my shower routine but it's not made a difference. I'm guessing creams and shampoos for stuff like eczema won't help? Can you even put cream in your hair.

Will this stop once it's all fallen out?

Thanks!
