    Hi Tina,

    I had terrible itching with Tamoxifen and Letrozole. I stopped taking these in July 2017, but I still have a terribly itchy scalp. I have tried all sorts of lotions and potions for this, but haven't found anything to help. I am delighted to hear that you have finally found something which has calmed your itching.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
