Hair loss induced by chemotherapy treatment can often cause Folliculitis - an inflammation of the hair follicle. The symptons will be an extremely inflamed and sensitive scalp that is tender to the touch. It can also be very uncomfortable when wearing a wig. In most cases we are fitting women with their first wig. We help them find the right wig for them and then through the trauma of clipping their hair approximately 14 days after their first chemotherapy treatment.
All women do not experience Folliculitis. However, if you do we have found that using special products formulated for the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment including Moisturizing Shampoo, Face Serum and Soothing Balm can be very soothing for patients with acneiform rash induced by certain types of chemotherapy and helps relieve itching and redness.
