i finished chemo on august 11. my hair made a feeble attempt at coming back, about 1/4 inch on the sides above ears - very full here; about the same on the back of my head, but the top of the head is very sparse - can see my scalp - but hair here is about 1/2 inch. the past several days i noticed that my scalp really really hurts, especially on the top and back. is this "normal"? has anyone else experienced this? does this signal that my hair is going to fall out again(that's what the sensation reminds me of). i was really looking forward to having some hair soon, this has got me a bit worried.

Yup....
Try globbing on the moisturizer...could be it's so dry that the little newbies are having a tough time breaking thru!!!
I used Mary Kay costmetics 'Night creme'...pink, and lovingly termed axlegrease by their marketers...got the tip from a fellow colorectal cancer warrior...and used it all the way thru the breast cancer, too!

Try massage...heidijez said:scalp still hurting
spoke to onc who said it is possible that hair will fall out again. i keep my scalp moisturized, so dryness is not an issue. i choose to believe it is the little hairs trapped under the scalp fighting to get out ; )
I forgot to say....with each application, I spent 15 minutes each time massaging my scalp...
