Do you know the feeling when the scalp hurts, but there are no visible reasons for this? It seems that many, both men and women, have encountered this. Outwardly, it seems, everything looks wonderful: you have good hair and look after it, as they say, by all the rules, but sometimes the pain of the scalp makes itself felt.
But let's take a look at the reasons why the scalp hurts. The reasons for this can be different and some of them are quite serious.
Do you know the feeling that the scalp hurts, or rather, as if the roots of the hair?
This is especially noticeable when you run your hand through your hair, do your hair? If yes, then perhaps the reason is that you are doing the same hairstyle, styling, and now when you comb your hair differently, the hair follicles begin to hurt.
If the scalp hurts precisely for this reason (we will discuss other reasons below), then the only way out is to massage the scalp. It can be carried out both by a specialist and independently if you have certain skills.
Massage significantly improves blood circulation, so the pain will immediately recede into the background, and after several procedures disappear altogether. It is very good to combine scalp massage and contrast shower. It is useful for the whole body, but especially for the head. A contrast shower improves blood circulation, which means there will be no pain either.
In order to nourish the bulbs with vitamins and make them more elastic, it is recommended to rub the masks. If the scalp hurts, then combine all the measures comprehensively.
A mask of egg yolk and citrus juice, such as lemon, helps to relieve tension. Leave this mask for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse with water. Some people prefer to add a few drops of honey to the mask.
And another way to get rid of pain is a bread mask. It is best to choose rye bread, you can use beer without preservatives. Cover your head with a towel for a few minutes and then rinse your hair.
But, it happens that the scalp hurts for another reason. Therefore, masks can hardly be helped here. Perhaps the vessels under the skin are damaged and their narrowing causes pain, sometimes quite long and sharp. In this case, a comprehensive examination by a trichologist and neurologist is necessary. You may be prescribed a course of treatment: injections, massage, vitamins. It is better not to start the pain and not endure, but consult a doctor immediately.
Sometimes the scalp hurts from the fact that you, for example, do a tight hairstyle. Say the tail, which is so popular these days. It is impossible to tighten the scalp, it is harmful to the bulbs. In addition, people with chemistry and frequent staining suffer from skin pains, especially with the use of hydrogen peroxide. Some chemical dyes can burn the upper skin layer, in such cases you will see that the skin has turned red, itching and even pain are felt.
Another cause of pain in the scalp is a fungus. This does not happen so often, but the disease does occur. It is possible to pick up a fungus when using someone else's hairbrushes or hats. Therefore, follow the rules of personal hygiene and do not use other people's things.
Psoriasis can sometimes be the cause of pain . Psoriasis affects the entire skin, whole or foci. And it may well settle under the hair. Moreover, this does not become noticeable immediately because of the hairline. But then the hair begins to thin and bald spots appear.
Pay attention to heredity. Sometimes it happens that weak hair follicles, thin sensitive skin are determined by hereditary signs, but this, of course, does not mean that treatment is useless. It is necessary to rub therapeutic ointments to strengthen the skin and hair.
The scalp needs no less care than facial skin.
