Losing hair

Hi ladies I have a question regarding losing my hair. I started losing my hair on day 16 of my first chemo and
i have had it shaved really close but not all off. I have this awful feeling when touch my head it feels like pins sticking in my head and I wondered if I get my hubby to shave it all off maybe that feeling will go away. Has anyone else had this same feeling.

Thanks so much

    Hi @LMW I know the feeling you're talking about, the scalp becomes very sensitive especially when you start to lose your hair, mine was sore. I had my head shaved to like a No.1, but no I don't believe a shave to the skin would eradicate that pins feeling. It does settle down as the time goes and the more infusions you have and the loss of all your hair. Hugs Melinda xo
