Mine didn't itch too much but it was very tender and irratating. My Dr.'s said that some patients get this irratation in their hair folacles from the Chemo and it usually works it's way out after a while. Mine continues to improve. Also, if your like I was, my scalp and skin from the neck up seemed to become very dry more than likely from the radiation, which may be creating some of your itching.
Best Regards,
Steve
