If your chemo regimen is likely to
make you lose your hair, scalp sensations ranging from tingling to full on sunburn are common. Itchy, tingly, painful, it's the hair dying I'm afraid.

The only good thing is that the unpleasant feeling makes the hair loss a fraction easier because your head then stops feeling like someone blow torched it!
On on the other hand, if hair loss is not on your bc list, then best to get it checked out.
Best wishes
