I had Mohs surgery November 2015 - am I still experiencing side effects?

janiceL81
I had Mohs surgery on my forehead in November 2015. I lost the feeling in my scalp and was told by my surgeon that the cancer had wrapped around my nerves so they had to be cut away. He did say that the nerves may grow back due to my age I was 34. Post surgery I noticed that my hair grew in different directions&become more coarse at the roots. At the moment my scalp is really itchy and has a burning sensation a lot of the time -It's driving me mad! My scalp feels tingly, any advice is welcome.
