I used to have very oily skins and the dermatologist had precribed me Nizoral to alternate with DHS 2% Zinc (Head & Shoulder has only 1% Zinc) shampoo. That was 22 years ago and it's been working very well. My current oncologist (dermatologist?) told me to use the Nizoral very infrequently...

You might want to see a dermatologist to take care of your scalp.

One thing I did when I was wearing a wig during chemo was to put a small, thin silk handkerchief inside. Silk is soft and keeps the head warm when it's cold outside while feels cool when it's hot inside...

Whenever I was not at work, I would just wear a cap (in the public) or not wear anything at all (when at home) on my head.
