Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's natural to be concerned about any unexpected symptoms while having treatment. I haven't had chemotherapy so don't know if an itchy head is a sign that you might be about to loose your hair.
I see from your profile that you're being treated for bowel cancer so could I suggest you join that group and post your question there. I'm sure the members in that group will have experience with this.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You could then copy and paste your introduction from here into a new post there after selecting 'start a discussion'.
Wishing you all the best with your treatment.
