I started chemotherapy 3 weeks ago and in the last 7 days I have almost lost all my hair ️ In the last 2 days I've had to cover my head but I'm getting prickly heat any suggestions please ?
When it happened to me in 2010 (I'm still here!!) I went on Ebay and bought 13 wigs (cheap) in many different styles and colours, and wore a different one every day. To stop them blowing off (the ultimate embarrassment) I used toupee tape. You can get cream or tabs from your GP or use pure Aloe gel for the prickly heat, and while it is bothering you silk scarves are very comfortable to wear. You could ask your chemo team also for something for the prickly heat. You often get rashes with chemo, but they pass.
I wish you all the luck in the world and you will get through this!
