Hi, im16 year old, teenager, i have a problem with my scalp there 3 scabs a small one on or near the crown, another on top right what i think the most and the last that fells like a burn under it, these affect my mental health as my hair longer than i want it and get get cut because of the scabs, my anxiety through the roof as am always worrying about people think of my hair so i put a hood/hat on. I have arranged an appointment ment with a doctor as i understand no one can tell me what it is unless they look at it.im begin to slowly stay in more and avoid social situations because of these scabs. So i need advice to help till i see my doctor (Monday). Also can i get my hair cut even thoe i have these scabs? Does my hair need cut before I see my doctor?
Thank you so much every one and enjoy your day!!
Thanks for any advice!
Sometimes I get small scab like spots on my scalp. But I colour my hair, and they itch, sometimes a dry scalp can cause it or a shampoo that is drying the scalp. Use a good contidioner and maybe that will help .i sometimes use tea tree oil shampoo, to stop the itch, but I think it dry the scalp, hope it helps. It s trial and error really, to find what suits you.
Hi, would i need my hair cut to see a doctor? My hairs getting long for a male and i cant get it cut becouse I'm to embarrass about the scab
It's your choice wether you get your hair cut, I had my hair washed and had a deep conditioner on my hair yesterday and head massage, it made me feel better as I suffer from itchy scalp . As for the spots it might help. Just a thought, what ever makes you feel better. I have scabs in my head due to hair dye I think and the hairdresser never noticed them hope this helps.
