I had removal of a squamous cell carcinoma removed on Thursday, from my scalp. Is there any help I can get scrubbing and keeping my wound clean?

Caring for a scalp wound after surgery can definitely feel challenging, especially when it's in a hard-to-reach area. Many people find it helpful to ask a family member or friend to assist with gentle cleaning, or you might consider reaching out to your healthcare team for specific wound care instructions and resources in your area. The community here has lots of experience with post-surgical care, so others may have great practical tips to share about what worked for them during their recovery.
