IT-CHEE, IT-CHEE, IT-CHEE!
My scalp.
In the second week of my topical rub-on liquid chemo.
Roots out and kills those little pre-cancerous thingys.
Actinic keratoses.

It's sure working.
But DAMN! it itches.
Can't scratch, but I can 'rub'.
Friday is the last day of treatment.
A week or so later my scalp will be as 'smooth as a baby's bottom', according to my dermatologist.
And all them bad ol' pre-cancerous things will be goners.

PSA: If you have health insurance, or can otherwise afford to get medical treatment (:-() do get an annual dermatology checkup.

Rest of you guys?
SOL
Sorry.

1. Poor you...
But good it's working!

Just got health insurance this month through new job.
Dermatological skin check is high on the list...as soon as I get paid a couple paychecks.

Hang in there!

Does it make you lose you hair, or did you shave it off?

2. No hair on top.
Not for many a moon.
Hence the sun exposure.
Hence the 'problem'.

Lesson: If you're bald? Wear a hat.
