Does It Hurt When Your Hair Falls Out?
If you are about to start, or have already started, chemotherapy, you will most likely be facing temporary hair loss. Chemotherapy affects the cells in the hair and therefore leads to hair loss. Many people say they experience a "tingling" sensation, mild itching on the scalp, and a feeling of scalp tenderness. This happens because hair growth stops and the hair "dries out" in the follicles. It is not dangerous, but it can be quite irritating. The nerve endings in the scalp are also affected, which is why you may feel as though your hair roots hurt. This is a temporary condition that will pass.
It is difficult to give a general explanation of what it feels like when your hair falls out. Some people experience nothing at all, while others are quite bothered by it.
How to Relieve Discomfort
It can be a good idea to cool the scalp to ease discomfort. We recommend Lotion Ergines E from LA BIOSTHETIQUE. This lotion has a cooling effect and provides immediate relief. You will experience a relaxed scalp when using it. You can also give yourself a gentle scalp massage with our Beauty Oil. Massaging the scalp increases blood circulation, which can help relieve itching.
