    Weird
    Pretty weird to fall out cycle 2, and grow back cycle 3. You'll have to keep shaving, or put up with the itching till it grows out a bit. Crazy!

    tingling
    I haven't lost my hair yet (also on CPT-11) although it is getting pretty thin now and I think soooon.

    Last night I noticed my scalp was very "tingling" -- in an uncomfortable way. Maybe this is related to what you are experiencing?? (But not really itchy....)

    The problem is that I shaved it and it seems l shouldn't !
    it seem I had some good hair which is growing like wire and is itchy is rubbing with my pillow causing me a kind of uncomfortable rush!
    Very minor side effect but disgusting believe me! Agghh.
