Itchy Scalp

I had scalp surgery nearly a year ago for a basal skin cancer.  The surgery was successful but I am left with some slow to heal scabs and a very itchy scalp.  My scalp tends to be dry.  I need help with what to use.

Hi, 

It might be a good idea to use a shampoo that uses a less irritating type of detergent. 

Shampoos with sodium lauryl sulphate, can irritate the skin.  So maybe try to use a shampoo that has a different detergent than SLS. 

If that doesn't help, you could try a shampoo that is sulfate-free. These can be more expensive though. 

I hope this helps, 

All the best,

Jonathan  

Thanks for the suggestion Jonathan.
