How Should Nair Be Used During Chemotherapy?

Someone asked about using Nair on head during chemo. I shaved my head with a buzz cut machine but it now itches and it s hard to sleep. I am thinking bald would be better. Don t think I would do well trying to use a razor to shave it. Please give me an example of an antiseptic method to use Nair safely from start to finish thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can use the hair removal cream as directed in its packaging. If you are going to use a razor, use a new razor and clean the area with an after shave lotion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
