Mum's Hair falling out

Hi Toppy, my friends and i all found different forms of relief, sorry no help there then haha. I used Aqueous for dry skin. I would go and Goggle best treatment for chemo hair loss if no one else on here comes up with an answer, but like i said we are all different. You could ask your hospital nurse or GP. If your mum is having a NHS wig she could ask there. All the best

Thank you for replying.  She got her wig before her hair fell out. I will look up on google, Thank you again

Hi toppy, aloe Vera helps to sooth the scalp. You can get a gel and keep it in the fridge so it is cool when applying. X 

Fantastic Chelle, Thank you, my mind was drawing a blank.  Aloe Vera is natural. I will get some today and do it tonight - Your a star, Thanks again

I've seen my GP today for a suspected infection but also got him to check my scalp as it is so very sore- he says it is quite common after chemo and is called Folliculitis- inflammation of the follicles- he's suggested I use Vosene shampoo twice a day - leave it on 10 mins then rinse off- he's also prescribed a steroid cream but can't pick that up until this evening so not sure what it is - make sure you keep an eye on it as it can get infected :( 

Soon as my hair started to come out, I shaved it all off, as that took the pressure off the hair folicals,  as it is painful at the start and lasted about two weeks, then started to ease off. 

I bought baby shampoo, and although I've no hair I still wash my scalp with the baby shampoo each night as boy don't you perspire from your head.

This has helped for me. 

My daughter used a cream in a small round tin a bit like a baseline tin.  It's called Superbalm and is from Lush. She swore by it during her chemo and had padded her tops over to me now is my turn on the cancer stage.  Good luck.  X

Ahh Thank you Debsvp, I am sorry you are going through his as well. My daughter is a hairdresser and shaved it for her.  My Mum was blessed with the thickest of hair so it was coming out in bundles.  She is wearing a towelling turban most of the day as she doesn't like her wig.  I will pick her up some baby shampoo.

Thanks xx

Thank you, I will, she is a red head so has the palest of skins.

Aww bless you both, this must be hard.  I will look that up for her and give it a try.  Take Care and Thank you for taking the time to give me some help xx
