I. Boutons cuir chevelu : les différentes causes

Folliculitis of the scalp

 

Folliculitis is the most common infection, it is an inflammation of the hair follicle, which causes the appearance of pimples and is accompanied by itching. It can be more or less painful and scabs can form.

There are many sebaceous glands on the scalp, so it is common for pimples to appear there. They are often caused when sebum and dead skin block the hair follicle.

 

Scalp acne is often the result of an infection caused by bacteria, fungus or the accumulation of hair products such as shampoos, colourings, styling products (hair sprays, gels, etc.).

 



The sport

 

When you sweat, especially after a sports session, theperspiration can moisten hair and skin, creating an environment that is conducive to the growth of fungi and bacteria. This creates a moist, warm environment that allows bacteria to grow, causing irritation and dandruff. 

In addition, hair products such as gels and sprays can build up on the scalp and irritate sensitive skin. 


To prevent scalp irritation during exercise, it is recommended to wash your hair after exercise and to choose mild hair products without potentially irritating ingredients.  


II. Et si c'était de l'eczéma ?

Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease considered a chronic form of eczema.

It appears and develops on the body in areas where there are many sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, the space between the eyebrows, or the furrow between the nose and the cheeks.

 

Genes and hormones are thought to play a role in the development of this inflammation. It is a non-contagious and benign skin disease. Although it is a chronic disease that occurs in recurrent outbreaks, it can also disappear on its own.

 


Its causes are:

  • Stress and fatigue
  • The application of fatty substances
  • Hormonal changes or diseases
  • Inadequate personal hygiene
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Certain medications
  • Very cold or wet temperatures

On the scalp of the person affected by an outbreak of seborrheic dermatitis, we can observe red patchesoften darker on the edges, a scalp that is too dry with dandruff that easily falls off. Itching at the level of these patches is most often noted when the scalp is too inflamedThe person may also experience burning sensations.


Allergic eczema

Allergic eczema is a condition that affects about 2% of the population. Allergic eczema on the scalp is a skin condition that is characterized by itching, redness and rashes on the scalp. This condition is often caused by hair products that have not been tolerated by the scalp.

This is often the case with hair colors that can cause eczema in some people due to their chemical composition. Ingredients such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, preservatives and fillers can irritate sensitive skin and trigger an allergic reaction. leading to allergic reactions. Small blisters full of liquid appear in particular at the level of the ears and the neck. An allergy test can then confirm whether or not the product used is allergic.

In the most serious cases, please consult your doctor or dermatologist who will prescribe a suitable treatment to be applied to the skin lesions.

 


Unclogging the follicles

 

First of all, our scalp is very sensitive, if it lacks cleanliness dandruff can appear, so it is important to wash it regularly, making sure to use a shampoo adapted to its hair.

The frequency of washing will depend on your hair type, some will wash their hair daily (so use a special shampoo that is gentle enough not to damage the scalp.), while others will need to wash their hair only once a week.

 

Beware of dry shampoo, which tends to make the problem worse. Indeed, even if it allows to gain one or two days on the shampoo, it does not eliminate the dead skins, on the contrary. Used too often, it mixes with the dead skin cells and creates an environment favorable to dandruff. Dry shampoo should therefore be used sparingly!
