Question re: scalp bumps or folliculitis during chemo.

[woodsprite]

Have any of you developed bumps, not quite pimple like, during chemo? About 90-95% of my hair has fallen out. I’m on day 16 of chemo round 2. I have been using the Mustela baby unscented shampoo and moisturizer, along with putting an ice pack on the area 2-3x day. My dr prescribed a 1% solution of clindamycin. Been using it for a few days, but it doesn’t seem to be doing much. They seemed worse tonight, but I hadn’t had an opportunity to ice the area until now.

Just was wondering how you handled them if you experienced this.

After chemo 3, they plan on doing a CT scan to see if I’m ready for surgery.
