Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
