Scalp Inflammation – How an Itchy Inflammatory Scalp Can Lead to Hair Loss

So what is a scalp inflammation? A scalp inflammation is a chronic problem of the scalp that is quite impossible to ignore due to the hellish discomfort it brings with it. Inflammation of the scalp has many vivid symptoms that are very easy to identify and cannot be suppressed. If you suffer from excessive scalp tenderness, redness on the scalp, psoriasis, scaling, extreme itchiness and/or series of scalp bumps/pimples, you are showing symptoms of a severe scalp inflammation. This type of condition usually occurs when there’s an underlying problem.

The cause of a scalp inflammation could be several things ranging from hygienic negligence, diet, stress, internal hormonal imbalances or a bacterial/fungal infection.

A scalp inflammation can be best described as a kind of scalp condition characterized by severe itching, redness and scalp pimples, oily scalp, excessive flaking, crusting and even bleeding. Scalp Inflammation occurs when one small issue, such as one or two bumps (also known as pimples) on the scalp, multiplies and becomes intense to the point where the discomfort it causes rises to an highly intolerable degree.

It is important to note, however, that scalp inflammation doesn’t just occur out of the blue, except in situations where its causes can be directly linked to the use of harsh hair products. If harsh hair products are ruled out as the culprits of a scalp inflammation, this usually indicates a more serious problem that needs immediate attention and that must be addressed with the correct medicinal remedy.

The fact that you might see some redness on your scalp should always be an alert that tells you a huge problem is developing and is about to breakout. Like many other scalp problems, scalp inflammation can undoubtedly lead to hair loss. But before you start to panic about your particular scalp inflammation problem, know that hair loss only happens in cases where the person suffering from the inflammatory condition is unable to find an actual cure within a set period of time (usually a couple of months).

You see, the longer it takes to find a cure for an inflammation of the scalp, the more time the inflammation will have to mature and develop into stronger drug resistant conditions. When that happens, it’ll induce an extremely irritable feeling on your scalp that will make it impossible to resist having to scratch your head.

When you start scratching an inflamed scalp on a regular basis, you’ll cause more damage to it that will create tears/bruises on your scalp. This will in turn make your hair follicles open to get easily infected. If this process continues and isn’t quickly stopped within the first couple of months that it started, your scalp will become weakened. A weakened, infected and inflamed scalp leads to hair loss. Not only that, it also leads to lots of wasted visits to the doctor’s office and hundreds of dollars ($850+) down the drain!
