I’ve had five rounds of chemo and my hair has thinned a lot. More than I imagined. My head / scalp hurts where the hair has come out.
anyone any advice on how to ease this?
thanks
Hi 100KT There’s some useful advice in this booklet and your chemo team may also have some tips?
Hi 100KT
The cancerhaircare charity gave me a teatree and aloe vera gel which was both soothing and healing. I had already removed all soaps and shampoos and was prescribed a soap substitute.
My scalp was very grateful.
Thank you I asked my hair dresser and she has given me an organic shampoo and conditioner. Going to try it tmw!
