I've read that it helps to rub oil/lotion on your (bald) scalp to relieve dryness. Any suggestions on the best product to use?

Organic coconut oil. Chemo is very drying so can also be used on the face or body.

All of these sound great, I just used basic body lotion. I also had a very mild shampoo called Alra that the women's center where I bought my wig. It has aloe vera, panthenol and oil of rosemary.

I think coconut oil is the best because it is antibacterial as well as very gentle. Duri g chemo I also used vit E and Argon oil.
