Hi there,
I had a very sore (itchy to start) scalp when I started chemo. It began to bother me when my hair was getting ready to fall out and then stayed that way for a few weeks. After that it was fine. It was so uncomfortable, I couldn't brush or even wash my hair and it bothered me to have anything touch it at all. I think your discomfort will ease up soon.
Love, Kelly
