Why does hair trimming cause scalp wounds and itching?

Patient's Query

Anytime I trim my hair my scarf start to itch you see some wounds in my head

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Itching and the appearance of wounds after hair trimming could be due to irritation, allergies, or an underlying skin condition. Shorn hair may irritate sensitive skin or expose it to allergens in products. To soothe discomfort, consider using a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo and keep your scalp clean and moisturized. Avoid tight headwear temporarily. If issues persist or worsen, seeking advice from a dermatologist is important to receive an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Recently I have a insect bite n my face near eye area , and I think that insect release some fluid which is acidic in nature and it caused scare on my face after the wound repaired it seems white and black on surface how to treat this faster please .

Female | 26

You've had some trouble with that insect bite near your eye. The acidity of the insect's fluid might have caused the skin to scar. The skin can be either whitish or blackish. You can use aloe vera or vitamin E cream to treat it without leaving any scars. They are also useful in minimizing the visibility of the scars over time. Don't forget to rinse the area with water often and never itch it.

My Grandmother is Bedridden for past 4 years. For past 1 month she is having Bedsores in between the shoulder blades which measures around 5×5 cm. Initially we did dressing and it healed leaving a black scar. But for past 2 days we noticed pus discharge from one edge of the scar with foul smell. Inside the scar it is fluctuant. My questions are :- 1. Do we have to remove the entire scar and do the dressing or through the opening in the edge of the scar irrigating and giving antibiotic wash along with betadine gauze packing in the abscess cavity is enough? 2. To prevent further bed sores which bed is good? Water bed or Air Bed?

Female | 92

As for the wound, it is crucial to clean it well and cover it with antibiotic gauze. This is the way it can be healed. Concerning the prevention of further sores, both water beds and air beds are useful by alleviating the pressure on her skin. Be sure to move her body every so often so that she doesn't get too much pressure in one spot. This will also help to prevent more bedsores.

I'm 18 years old ,I started using salicylic acid face wash on my face three weeks ago ,now I wanna stop that , because I can't see my skin purging at a level ,soo what will happen after that and can I use niacinamide serum to clear my skin from purging?

Female | 18

It’s normal for your skin not to have an immediate breakout when you quit using a salicylic acid cleanser. Different people have different experiences with purging. A niacinamide serum may be beneficial in clearing your skin. Reducing redness and improving skin texture are some of the things niacinamide can do. Ensure you follow the directions on the package and be patient for results.

How to gain weight How to increase breast size How to get a glowing clear skin

Female | 21

To successfully gain weight, shift to calorie-dense foodstuffs such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Muscles can be developed by normal powerlifting. If you're striving to enlarge your bust, give attention to exercises that target the chest and put on the appropriate bras but take into account your genetic origin always. For radiant skin, keep your body well-hydrated, eat the right balance of fruits and vegetables, and also have a skincare regimen that is uniform and renewed. Keep in mind the fact that every person's body is unique.

Pigmentation is not treated quickly. It takes a while for treatments to work. But you can visit a dermatologist and discuss this. Based on your particular condition, he may suggest some alternative treatments that may work for you like chemical peels, laser treatments, topical creams etc. Hope this helps.

I have fungal infection in my groin area and around belly button. I have been using this medicine ketoconazole neomycin dexpanthenol iodochlorhydroxyquinoline tolnaftate & clobetasol propionate cream for quite some time but it is not able to cure the problem. I'm maintaining a strong hygiene too. Please recommend something

Male | 23

I suggest that you visit a dermatologist who is capable of diagnosing the type and level of the fungal infection. The treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. Prescription of the suitable antifungal medication will be done followed by advice on hygiene practices to prevent further infection.

PIGMENTATION TANG REMOVER

Male | 24

Pigmentation that occurs as a result of tanning removal agents is a skin problem where dark, scaly, patches appear. Symptoms may be monotonous and the colored patches that occur on the skin. Tang removers are composed of potent chemicals that can harm your skin and lead to these patches. To do this, first, you should stop using the tan remover and instead shift to more skin-friendly products. If the case is like this, shield them from the sun.
