Burning sensation under scalp

[baldymcgee]

Many of us have a "burning" sensation under the scalp and, according to some, this seems to be related to hair loss in some way.

Is there any new research on this issue? Do any of the upcoming/proposed treatments address this problem (along with hairloss)? Do we know what the underlying causes are?

Has anyone started a DHT-reduction regimen (fin/dut-asteride) and had this go away?

Any doctors on the forum able to comment on the state of research/treatment for this? It's really frustrating and no doctor I've spoken with has a treatment (or even any idea about the cause).

I know just before getting on fin I had a constant itch near my crown, and when I buzzed my head I had redness around the area , however now the itch has gone so I don't know if it was stress related or fin got rid of it

hairloss = inflammation under scalp, that's why i produce tons of sebum and that's why nizoral works a little other then compete with testo

Some times i want to put my head on an ice bucket

Do you have dandruff?

Do you have dandruff?

No, I don't. The "burning" sensation is only in certain areas of my scalp.

So Nizoral helped to reduce the burning sensation?

to me? No, just a little less oily, it's all linked guys, hairloss is shit we don't even know what really give us the inflammation, we don't fully know how minox works, we don't know what make hair fall other then dht (even if you cut 100% dht we still can have some degree of hairloss) basically we know 50% of this condition and it really sucks

I think a lot of people like me have this burning but there is no known link to MPB and I doubt if there was anything could be done anyways. There is no way to really cure or fix it so just live with it I guess. It varies by person what causes it but it does seem pretty common in people with MPB whether its coincidence or actually related somehow. Maybe you can chalk it up to inflammation which no one can do anything about anyways.

Do people with full bald have this itch anymore? Would really like to know

[burtandernie]

Maybe most men with MPB also have seb derm and the seb derm actually causes the itching not the MPB. Regardless if you have MPB you need to treat it as such and treat seb derm separately. Both are incurable anyways.
