Just had my 5th chemo and my hair has now gone. My scalp has little red sometimes itchy spots on it. It's quite sensitive.
Any recommendations for keeping my scalp as healthy as possible for when my hair eventually grows back?
Cheers! xx
Hi I found "Cancer Hair Care" very helpful about keeping the scalp healthy. I made an oil infusion using Rosemary extract. Google their site and seek their advice. I had used the cold cap and so kept much of my hair. Future Dreams also has ideas and offers support.
All the best
