Seeking chemotherapy skin rash advice

Hi. Newly bald and seeking advice on how to treat this whole new area of skin. I'm keeping it out of sun, but after each dose of chemo (TC) I come up in a spotty rash that is now starting to itch. Usually I have normal to oily skin & hair.

    I used keri- oil body wash on my bald head. Cleanses and moisturizer in one. My scalp was terribky dry and itchy. Some chemist have sample pots so I'd check it out.

    I’m used the body shop amozonian balm on my scalp and their ginger shampoo. 

    Still using the shampoo. 

    Now im usingbthat balm on my face at night  to combat the drying effect of chemopause.

    Hi @kmakm.

    Moo goo has recently released a scalp cream designed for people going through chemo hair loss.  Might be worth a try as there other products are fantastic.
