Itchy Scalp
 
Hi! Anyone have any suggestions on what to do for an itchy scalp? My hair fell out or at least most of it. Then I had it shaved the remainder of the way. And now I'm itching like crazy.

Any ideas much appreciated.

I had soreness rather than an itch which stopped completly once all the hair was gone and I think you'll have the same experience.

In the meanwhile maybe try a gentle moisturizer, or anti histamine cream, I'm not sure it works maybe worth a try. It should stop fairly soon hopefully!!

I used cocoa butter on my head and all over my body! After I bathed I would just put it all over. I had the best complextion ever while I was on chemo with cocoa butter!

I also used cocoa butter on my bald little head. It did seem to help some. My head was so sensitive I could not even wear a hat or kerchief!!
