a year agoI've got Chemo pimples all over my head. They itch and somewhat hurt. Has anyone gotten this and what did you do for it?
Accepted Answer
Scalp irritation during chemotherapy treatment is a common experience that many people in the cancer community have dealt with. Consider reaching out to your healthcare team about gentle skincare options or soothing treatments that might help provide relief - they often have helpful recommendations for managing these types of skin changes during treatment.

6 months agoI got this as well. I use triple antibiotic ointment on my head as well as a fungal type nizoral shampoo on my head which helped quite a bit. Prayers to you🙏🏼
