post CK - scalp
« on: January 21, 2008, 05:19:10 pm »
Over the past few days, I've noticed my scalp is more sensitive especially on the sides of my head and forehead just into the hairline.  First noticed using the hair dryer at low speed.  It felt like I had the dryer too close which I didn't.  Now it itches.  Hope this is normal and not some indication that I may lose hair.  Since having CK, I've gone easy on the hair products and such.  And yes, I did dye it a few weeks before knowing I wouldn't for awhile afterward.  But honestly, in the scope of things that would be a small price to pay.  Just wondering if any post radiosurgery posties have had that experience. 
Thanks

Hey Sandra,

I also ran into scalp itch immediately post treatment as well as mild sensitivity.  So, another one here that had it, but it quickly remedied itself.... Hang in there! :)

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.  It's calming down more now thank goodness.  It wasn't bad.  Just a little irritating.  Other than that, all is good.  Let's hope it stays that way.
Thanks,
Sandra
