The small editor of this article will tell you the causes of scalp itching and the ways to solve scalp development. Let's have a look.
1. Fungal infection of scalp
Scalp fungal infection is a common cause of scalp pruritus, and scratching caused by pruritus will cause further damage to the head skin and hurt the hair. For the scalp infected by fungi, it is usually accompanied by dandruff and other symptoms. At the time of diagnosis, we should combine other symptoms or relevant laboratory tests, and then choose antifungal drugs.

In addition to the total itching of the scalp caused by fungal infection, other factors such as environmental impact, climate change, mental tension, perm dyeing or improper shampoo products are also easy to cause the total itching of the scalp. In addition, chronic diseases such as diabetes and other chronic diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease and other internal diseases cause the pruritus of the scalp not to be overlooked, so we should pay attention to eliminating the factors of physical diseases and doing good health care.
Methods of scalp care
1. If the scalp is itchy, don't scratch it with your nails, use your finger pulp. Cut the nails short and expose the pulp of the fingers. Massage can relieve itching and calm people down.
2. Don't wash your hair too often, because there is a layer of self-protective substances on the scalp and hair surface. If you wash your hair every day, it will destroy the protective layer, and the scalp is naturally easy to dry and itch.
3. Everyone's hair quality is different. We should choose a shampoo suitable for ourselves. When washing your hair, the water temperature should not be too hot, otherwise it is easy to damage the oil of the scalp and hair, causing water loss and becoming dry and itchy. Shampoo residue will also make the scalp itchy and uncomfortable.
4. When the outside sun is strong, pay attention to avoid direct exposure of the head, wear a hat, etc. In addition, usually do not eat stimulating or spicy food, pay attention not to smoke or drink, so as to avoid irritation to the scalp and avoid itching.
5. Do not or try to dye your hair as little as possible. Those inferior dyes will not only make your hair dry and fragile, but also damage your scalp, block hair follicles and cause itching.
6. If the itching is serious and accompanied by a large amount of dandruff, even if you pay great attention to personal details, it can not be improved, it is likely that you have been infected by fungi and need to go to the hospital with some drugs.
