I had a craniotomy in July of last year, so we are about 9 months out. My scalp is having that weird sensation, similar to when you have your hair in a pony tail all day and then take it down and move your hair around, pretty constantly and it is driving me nuts. I have tried those little shampoo brushes to stimulate the nerves there and it hasn’t helped. Does anyone have any recommendations for relief? It is driving me crazy.

I find mine feels better when I have clean hair. When I wash it feels so much better. Not sure when or how it goes away. My surgery was in December 21, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Jan 22 , Chemo cycles ongoing

I put a cold pack on top my head. Helps a little.
