Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask more specifically. I have a headache on my scalp, a specific area, and it hurts when I touch my hair. This happens intermittently at intervals.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the most common infection when touching the scalp causes pain is folliculitis or sebaceous glanditis, and it could also be spongiotic inflammation of the scalp soft tissue. In addition to soft tissue infection of the scalp, it could also be an exophytic growth formed by epidermoid cysts or sebaceous cysts, accompanied by infection, so it hurts when touched. Of course, it could also be a proliferative disease, such as verruca, causing local infection, which might also cause pain when touched.
