Why is my scalp numb and painful?

People who wash their hair frequently know that if they don’t wash their hair on time, their scalp will become itchy and numb, and the more they scratch their scalp, the more itchy it will become. Generally, this phenomenon will disappear after washing your hair. Sometimes, if you suddenly change your shampoo, your scalp may experience this condition. This is also a process of adapting to the shampoo. This article analyzes several possible causes of itchy and painful scalp. If you are troubled by this, let’s take a look at it.

Most people should have had this experience: if you don’t wash your hair for a few days, your head will feel itchy, heavy, and even your scalp will hurt. In the past, we always thought that this was not a problem and that we could just wash our hair frequently. But in fact, the effect is not good. This feeling of itching and pain is recurring and cannot be eradicated, which makes people very troubled. Although this cannot be called a disease, it does affect our daily life. So what is going on? What causes it? Let's discuss it below.

Steps/Methods:

1. An itchy and painful scalp indicates that the skin environment of the head is unhealthy. This is not a disease, but it makes many people uncomfortable in their lives. The itchy and painful scalp is caused by scalp folliculitis. The main causes of follicle inflammation are staphylococci and other pyogenic bacteria and more than ten kinds of skin fungi such as Microsporum and Trichophyton.

2. Pain and itching of the scalp may also be caused by damp heat. If you sweat a lot, your body is prone to dampness and heat, which can block your hair follicles, increase the chances of infection and the use of shampoos, and many shampoos have a strong irritating effect on the hair roots, hair follicles and scalp.

3. There is usually a high possibility that our scalp is infected by fungi. Because one of the symptoms of fungal infection of the scalp is the appearance of a large amount of dandruff. No matter how carefully you wash your hair, it will appear again the next day. No matter how much you scratch it, it still itches, and if you scratch too much it starts to hurt.

Note:

In cases like this, it is necessary to find out the root cause in time and alleviate it thoroughly. Of course, paying attention to personal hygiene is the minimum, and choosing the right shampoo is also important. Then, if you are infected, you need to take symptomatic medication.
