Hi DebbF and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

Skin problems such as itching can be a common side effect from Tamoxifen so hopefully some of our members who have experienced this will get back to you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses then you can give them  a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

If the itchiness becomes unmanageable at any point do be sure to let your doctor or nurse know as they should be able to help you with this.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Oh thank goodness I thought it was just me... I have terrible itching on my scalp hairline on my forehead.  I find a frozen bag of peas can help but also have used old fashioned calomine lotion.   But really it is awful.  It is quite intense when I have a hot flash.   I will watch this thread with interest.   I do hope someone can help.  Thank you for posting    Sue
