Xiao Wang is 28 years old this year, and he is young and strong, but he stays at home every day and does not want to go out, and he has low self-esteem and depression as a whole; his family members are very puzzled by Xiao Wang's state, and why is a good young man squatting at home every day and not going out to work? He is still gloomy.
Fortunately, Xiao Wang's cousin was well-informed and felt that Xiao Wang's state must be a psychological problem, so she took him to the hospital.
After communicating with Xiao Wang, the psychiatrist found that Xiao Wang was so sluggish because he often had pimples and pus on his head, and he had a lot of dandruff, even if he washed his hair every day, it would be useless.
This made Xiao Wang have a serious inferiority complex about his appearance, and he felt that everyone was staring at his hair when he went out, so he didn't want to go out.
The psychiatrist suggested that Xiao Wang should now receive psychological counseling while treating the pimples and pus on the scalp to see what kind of disease he was suffering from, and if the root of the disease was removed, his psychological state would be much better.
So, what disease caused Xiao Wang's pimples and pustules of psychological problems, and what ways to deal with them?
There are always pimples and pustules on the scalp, it may be that these 3 diseases have come to the door, remember to deal with them like this
Pimples and pustules often appear on the scalp, which are usually typical manifestations of the three diseases, and I will briefly introduce what diseases are and how to deal with them.
The first disease is seborrheic dermatitis, which mainly occurs in seborrheic parts, such as the head, face, chest and back, etc., patients will show symptoms such as pustules and pimples, but also have erythema, itching, scaling and other discomforts.
The cause of the disease has not yet been determined, but some researchers speculate that it may be related to a variety of factors such as genetics, microbial infections, and alcoholism.
Therefore, for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, it is generally not limited to drug treatment, but Xi is used to cooperate with drug treatment to help patients remove the disease.
The doctor will advise the patient to maintain adequate sleep on weekdays, stay up less late, eat less or no high-fat, high-sugar, and spicy foods in the diet, and stay away from alcohol as much as possible. Antihistamines, antifungals, glucocorticoids and other drugs are mainly used to relieve the patient's itching, help the patient dissolve lipids, and exfoliate the skin.
Another disease is folliculitis, which refers to an inflammatory reaction that occurs in the hair follicles, which can occur in all parts of the human body, such as the head, buttocks, legs, etc.
The cause of folliculitis is usually related to the damage of hair follicles, some people wonder how hair follicles can be damaged, in fact, shaving, trauma, wearing tight clothing can damage hair follicles, and after the hair follicles are damaged, bacteria have a "chance", and then cause folliculitis.
Normally, if the patient's condition is mild, it can resolve on its own, but some patients have a more severe disease, may relapse frequently, and the patient may even have a fever, which requires medication.
The most commonly used topical drugs are antimicrobial lotions, antibiotic ointments, etc., but for patients with very severe conditions, oral antibiotics are generally recommended to deal with the invasion of foreign pathogens.
In addition to these two diseases, pimples and pustules on the head may also be caused by tinea capitis.
Tinea capitis is generally caused by dermatophytes infecting the scalp and hair, and unlike other diseases, it is highly contagious, and if not treated in time, the skin of the patient's head may be scarred, and even permanent hair loss may occur.
Therefore, when doctors treat tinea capitis, they generally recommend that tinea capitis patients and their families treat together to avoid recurrent infections, and the drugs used are mainly antifungal drugs, and some topical drugs will also be used to help patients relieve discomfort, and the specific drugs are selected according to the patient's discomfort.
Now, everyone should know what diseases are related to pimples and pustules on the head, right?
If you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital for medical treatment and treatment in time to avoid great harm to the patient's physical and mental health. Of course, if you can stay away from those inconspicuous bad Xi in advance, you can stay away from these diseases and maintain scalp health.
What are some of the inconspicuous bad Xi that are secretly destroying our scalp health?
1. Scratch your scalp vigorously often
I don't know if you usually have a Xi of scratching your scalp? If so, stop it!
You know, our nails are not sterile, there may be dust in the nails, there may also be bacteria, if you often scratch the scalp with such nails, if you are not careful to scratch the scalp, it is very likely to cause infection, cause inflammation, damage to the health of the scalp.
Therefore, you should try to avoid the Xi habit of scratching the scalp, and if you really feel that the scalp is itchy, you should also try to massage the scalp with your fingertips to relieve the itching, so as not to scratch the scalp with your nails.
2. Ignore scalp sun protection
In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to skin sun protection to slow down the rate of skin aging, but no one has noticed that the scalp also needs sun protection.
Because under the sun, our scalp temperature will rise sharply, in the case of higher temperature, scalp oil secretion will be accelerated, if we are oily hair, will make oil secretion more vigorous, and the accumulation of oil and bacteria will change the pH of the scalp, increasing the chance of scalp inflammation and hair loss.
In fact, scalp sun protection is also very simple, such as reducing the time of sun exposure, using sunscreen spray, playing umbrellas, wearing hats, etc., these are all scalp sunscreen measures that everyone can do, have you learned it?
3. Washing your hair too often
Although we should clean our scalp and hair regularly to keep our scalp healthy, washing our hair too often can cause damage to our scalp.
Because when washing your hair, you will not only wash away bacteria and dust, but also wash away oil, too much oil will affect the pH of the scalp, but an appropriate amount of oil can protect the scalp and belong to a natural protective cover.
If you wash your hair regularly, without this protective cover to protect your scalp, your scalp will be too dry, your dandruff will increase significantly, and your scalp's resistance to bacteria will be significantly reduced.
The most suitable frequency of washing hair should be once every 2-3 days, however, for some friends with special work, you can also adjust the frequency of washing hair to once every 1-2 days.
4. Blow the hair dryer directly into the scalp
The advent of hair dryers does save us a lot of trouble, no longer have to sleep and go out with wet hair, however, improper use of hair dryers can also damage the scalp.
When some friends use a hair dryer, they like to use the heating gear of the hair dryer to blow directly on the scalp, but they don't know that it is easy to reduce the moisture in the scalp and greatly increase the possibility of scalp cracking, and it may also burn the scalp or cause irritation to the scalp, causing rapid contraction of the scalp pores, thus causing headaches.
Here it is recommended that you do not choose a too hot gear when using the hair dryer, keep a distance of more than 15cm from the scalp, try to move the hair dryer to blow your hair, and do not stay in one place for a long time to reduce the damage of the hair dryer to the scalp.
Write at the end
Hair is very closely related to our appearance, scalp health should also be our attention, if you often have pimples and pustules on your scalp, you must be alert to seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis and tinea capitis, if necessary, you can go to the hospital.
