Hi. I have dealt with my hair loss better than what I thought but was wondering how to care for my scalp as its a bit tender and if anyone has any suggestions what to use on it. Thanks
Hi unlucky, I´m glad to hear you´re dealing with your hair loss well so far. I have used a scalp oil on mine throughout which I bought through www.beautydespitecancer.com (I hope it´s OK to share the link here) but you can probably find them other places too. The oil has helped to keep my head soft and free from nasty pimples etc.
Hi I've had one treatment and noticing hair loss now. Was so upset yesterday but feeling ok this morning. I was wondering if there is anything to use while I still have most of my hair to relieve the itching? Surely it will make it look greasy. Maybe just use something at night when I wear my cap. Reading other comments helps doesn't it?
