  • Hi  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 your scalp is really sore and dry and that your hair is falling out. I don't have any experience with that myself but as the online community is divided up into different support groups, if you're comfortable telling me the type of cancer you have, I could provide you with a direct link to that group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from other others with the same type of cancer. 

    Alternatively you can look through this list, choose the appropriate group and then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment to date 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.

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
