Good day everyone!
Trying to find a simple remedy for an itchy and uncomfortable scalp as my hair begins to fall out. Is there a practical hair loss regimen for a comfortable scalp during treatment?
Thanks friends.
Hi Farmermaid and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you're suffering with an itchy and uncomfortable scalp due to hair loss.
The online community is divided into different support forums which are great places to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis and are on the same treatment that is causing your hair loss. As you haven't said what type of cancer you're being treated for I can't give you a direct link to the right forum for you. You could either let me know what type of cancer you have or look through this list to choose the right one.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
