I recently received a letter from a person who was confident that her hair loss and shedding were due to a potential thyroid problem, but she also had a scalp problem in addition to hair loss. Most of the time, it is nervous and stinging. But other times, she also experienced some pain and itching. She has read the symptoms of hair-related thyroid problems, and although she understands that hair loss is common, she can't find the corresponding scar problem. She wondered if the scalp problem was related to the thyroid problem or whether they were completely separate. I will discuss this more in the following article.

Thyroid problems can cause Telogen Effluvium [TE], which may adversely affect the scalp: from

 The scalp problem is not a symptom of all common thyroid problems, although hair loss is often the case. However, this does not mean that one person has nothing to do with another person. Often, hormonal fluctuations, distortions or deficiencies [such as excessive thyroid or low-grade state] can cause a condition called rest-stage hair loss, in which your hair follicles grow from rest to rest, and the results disappear in large numbers.

Because many follicles are affected at one time, inflammation is sure to occur, which in turn causes the pain, itching and tingling that I often ask. The thyroid problem does not directly cause these problems. TE is the cause of this situation, but the hormone problem about TE has emerged. Therefore, in this sense, they are definitely indirectly related. You will often see this condition called "burning scalp syndrome."

Androgen and hair regeneration are other problems that can cause scalp tingling, itching or pain: from

 There are also things related to this cycle that can also cause scalp problems. Sometimes, when you are at the end of the TE, you will start to grow a lot of hair again. As those follicles become active again and begin to regenerate, you may feel this in the scalp.

In addition, there are sometimes androgen problems or increased sensitivity to androgens, as hormonal problems are worsening or not. Sensitivity to androgen may be [except TE] the most common cause of problems and discomfort in the scalp, so if you haven't done so already, it's a good idea to consider this possibility.

How can you make your problem scalp feel better? : from

 The first step in getting some relief is to see if you can determine why this is happening. If this is due to androgen, there are ways to reduce your sensitivity. It makes sense to try to use topical drugs before resorting to drugs or herbs. If the scalp problem is caused by hormone cessation, then the initial TE usually has to go through its process. [You can usually prevent detachment by controlling thyroid problems in the future.]

At the same time, you can and should solve the inflammation. There are many parts that can soothe and begin to heal your scalp and stimulate regeneration. But be careful, you have no choice of anti-inflammatory drugs that may block the follicles you want to stimulate. Both tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil work well, but they usually need to be diluted and paired with other substances to minimize this risk.
