I have the dry itchy scalp with little bumps, too. I'm on Tykerb and Xeloda. I had hives on my arms, legs and torso on the first round. Doc lowered the Xeloda to 1500, down from 3000 mg. The body itch and hives stopped, but I still feel the itch scalp may be allergy related. I suppose it could be the toxicity.
I find taking my dose of daily flax seed oil helps (Barleans brand), fatty acids are great for the skin, anti-allergy, better yet has anti-cancer benefit in breast cancer studies. I also like Aveeno eczema care body wash for my hair and scalp.
Good luck!
