It's great that your hair is growing back — that's a real milestone! However, lumps on the scalp are not a commonly documented side effect of chemotherapy for lymphoma, so this is something that should be checked by your oncologist as soon as possible.
While scalp changes like hair loss and skin sensitivity are well-known after chemo, new lumps are not something to wait on. They could have several causes, but only your doctor can properly evaluate them.
A few things worth mentioning to your care team:
- When the lumps appeared
- Whether they are painful or tender
- If they are growing or changing in size
- Any redness or skin changes around them
Some MyLymphomaTeam members have shared experiences with scalp sensitivity and changes during hair regrowth, but lumps specifically need professional attention rather than a wait-and-see approach.
Please don't delay reaching out to your oncologist — it's always better to get these things checked quickly for peace of mind and your safety.
