Help! Scalp issues!

My hair is growing back and my scalp is full of bumps. I don't know if this is just dryness needing moisturizing, or hair follicles beginning to produce some new growth. Anyone else have this? My hair is about 1/4" long now. Will it take several months for it to look decent enough without a wig??? Thanks for any advice!

At the end of my chemo treatments I had red bumps that would come up on my scalp, they would be real sore for a few days then they would go away only to have them in another spot. I asked the nurse about it she said it was probably the hair follicle. They eventually went away.
I shampooed and moisturized my head everyday even though I had no hair. I have curly hair now about shoulder length. I finished chemo 23 Dec. 2003. I go to oncologist tomorrow for results of my 1 year blood work. wish me luck.I had mastectomy in Aug 2003
Best of luck to you,

Dear Peg:
Mine did the same thing get a bottle of Aveeno baby wash and it should help just make sure the bumps dont get infected because of over dryness hangin there it does get better,
Been there done that
