Hair regrowth pain

Hi all,

Not a bad problem to have for once, but I am having some regrowth already (I’m having my last chemo on Thursday) and it is sore! I can’t touch my head because it feels like I have dozens of needles sticking into my scalp. Also when I lie on a pillow it’s the same, it’s like the new spiky hairs are getting caught on the pillow and pulling. Was just wondering if anyone has had similar and what they did about it, if anything? I’ve been reluctant to put anything on it as I feel like the new hair will be super delicate and I don’t want to do anything to hamper its growth!

I had similar. Used Moogoo scalp cream daily. Put it on my scalp & massaged in, using a lot of pressure. It began to ease off.
Hope you get some relief soon x

I know some people on here have recommended a silk pillow so perhaps you could try that?
