Hi Napra. My sister is using Baby shampoo for washing her scalp as the scalp becomes very tender due to chemo. But she has not used any moisturer or cream.

By the way how many cycles completed and how many are remaining?

i have finished four cycles and three more to go. I read in some websites that the shaved head should be moisturized, to avoid itchiness due to exposure to the weather. looking for more info. best wishes to your sis.
