Scalp sore on 3rd week after Ist chemotherapy session feels like it's raw and I can't lay flat on it. My hair is thinner but still there. Anyone got any advice ?

Hi abc,
i had this too about week three of chemo. I used johnsons baby shampoo, and it did get better after about a week.
I found it hurt when the shower was on my head too, as well as putting hats etc on, but it will ease.
Hope you get on alright x
Mine hurts sometimes. It seems to be related to hair loss. I cut mine back to stubble, which has helped a lot, but I still get some sore bits where the hair hasn't gone yet. I think losing it is a bit of a mixed blessing in that respect. I don't want to lose it, but I'll be glad when it's gone & not hurting. I'm just past my 2nd cycle of FEC-75
Hi there .. the pain was awful but yes it disappeared as soon as my hair started falling out. I got my son to shave it all off a no 3 shave apparently. I have had third session of EOX just waiting for operation date now.
