I protected my scalp by washing my hair twice a week, protecting when outside with a scarf/cap and used this after washing my hair, massage your scalp with it.
Its great!
Good luck.

Hope it does the trick - and glad I’m not the only one using “swear therapy” 🤣 Hang in there!

@A MyBCTeam Member my face, neck and back broke out (some bumps in the scalp too). So much fun to have break outs in addition to all the other chemo side effects - NOT! I figured I’d have broken out skin for weeks. My doctor said it was chemo rash (not acne) the prescription for cleocin gel really cleared my face up quickly so I’d definitely ask your doc about it. In the meantime I found swearing helped 😉

Hi Michelle, I suspect the red bumps are from where the hair follicle has left the scalp. It's shaped like a bulb. It sounds like what I had as I was losing my hair. I had the buzz cut done, so that helped with the weight of the hair being gone, and I just washed my scalp with a fragrance free baby wash. Then after the bumps healed, I just continued- lol! Figured I could use some babying- lol! The hair leaves pretty quick once it starts!
Hang in there! Hugs!
