Tender scalp 5 months post chemo

Hi all, did anyone experience a tender scalp post chemo. I noticed it happens if I brush my hair back perhaps. Is it perhaps a sign of growth.

My hair is still very short , back and sides are longer than the top and very curly. My natural is curly but it's curlier now which iama very common I understand.

Wondering if there is a reason why it feels tender at times and what best to do, to handle it?

Thank you.

    @Cheri yes my scalp was tender for a long time.   I'm 4 years past active treatment and my head is very cold.  I wear a beanie all winter.
