Why do I have scabs on my scalp?

If you have red scabs, you are injuring your scalp somehow, and you need to stop that. You could be scrubbing with fingernails when you wash your hair, or could be brushing or combing your hair too vigorously. You may also be breaking out from your shampoo or conditioner or some hair product, and scratching your head a lot.

Simply, figure out the source, and end it. If the scabs are white and flaky, and have no obvious source of damage to the scalp you could have eczema, psoriasis or a skin fungus. Each of these is treatable with the proper topical treatments.

Visit your dermatologist to be sure of which problem you have, or if it is something completely different. When I was young I had psoriasis and had to take some sort of low-level radiation treatment to kill the excess skin growth. I'm perfectly fine, now, 48 years later.

Eczema is a skin condition that can be treated with local creams. A doctor can prescribe these to you. Skin fungus is different.

Some parasite is growing in your skin and scabbing over. Be careful with this, it looks like psoriasis. If you get something to treat psoriasis and it continues to grow, that is because some treatments for psoriasis will actually feed the skin fungus.

I knew someone who was all flaky his whole life because he was being treated for psoriasis. Another doctor discovered he had a fungus instead, and that the steroids that were given to him to kill the psoriasis was making things worse because the steroids were feeding the fungus. Getting rid of them is not too difficult.

Much like cradle cap, you can saturate your hair (scalp) with a baby oil. Let it sit on your scalp for at least 15 minutes. Wrap a hot towel over your head to help heat up the oil to absorb faster into the scabs.

Take off the towel and use a nylon bristle brush and gently, but firmly brush your hair to the scalp. This will loosen and remove much of the scabs. If you have a fine-tooth comb, you can follow brushing with combing to help release more of the scabs from your hair.

After you are confident that you have released the scabs from your scalp, wash your hair in warm water and rinse well. This should wash any extra left behind out of your hair.

I have scabs because it happens so often at these levels.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
