@viking1, I ended up with fissures on my rear end. Was so bloody painful I'd cry at times and fear using the toilet. I did warm salt baths a few times daily and it helped ease discomfort a bit. Also wet wipes after bowel motion was essential. I loved being bald just for the change, but my hair was short anyway so I didn't care. The sore scalp will ease. Chemo sucks. All the best.
