Re: Sore Head - Will shaving it help?

Make sure you get one of those long little brushes to clean the hair out of the shower drain. I got mine in True Value. I had a sore scalp too with chemo. It felt better once I shaved my head. My hair grew back thick and wavy. Beautiful. Now that I'm on my 4th year of Tykerb, it's thinned. I shed a lot of hair and I blame it on Tykerb. Have to be vigilant about the drains.
