Is the Scalp Also Skin? A Story About the Scalp!!

Why does a dermatology blog cover the scalp..?

Have you ever noticed that when you’re stressed, your hair seems to fall out,

or that your scalp is sensitive and turns red quickly?

Today, let’s learn about the scalp!

Please explain!

Scalp

Scalp care is becoming more and more important. The scalp is often described as an extension of the skin on the face!

Also, since scalp problems may not be just simple hair loss, this is an area of the body that needs proper care and attention!

I hope this becomes a time to check how well you’re taking care of your scalp health and to think about what you may need!

Why is scalp health important?

Are you investing generously in facial skin care, while neglecting the scalp, the skin beneath your hair?

As the saying goes, the scalp is skin too. It is not simply where hair grows! It is directly connected to the skin of the face, so if the scalp hardens and ages, it can also negatively affect facial lifting, and healthy follicles are necessary for strong hair growth, so it is also key to preventing hair loss.

Dead skin cells, sebum, and fine dust accumulated on the scalp can cause inflammation, and in severe cases, they can weaken the hair roots and lead to itching, dandruff, and even hair loss!

There are also cases such as seborrheic scalp dermatitis or scalp psoriasis/eczema that require help from a dermatologist! These symptoms need to be assessed through consultation with a specialist to identify the exact problem, and medication or procedures may need to be combined.

Dermatology procedures related to the scalp? First, there are scalp scaling and soothing treatments. Some dermatology clinics offer scalp versions of procedures that are performed on the skin.

Of course, these are usually performed at scalp specialty therapy centers or clinics. So if you are interested, we recommend asking in advance whether they provide the related procedure before visiting.

In addition, some places also provide medications or procedures such as follicle injections. A representative example is exosome ExoHealer! Usually, this is done by applying medication to the scalp, but in some cases, it is injected directly into the skin through a needle.

Of course, the procedures or treatments you need may differ depending on your skin condition and the type of scalp problem, so please be sure to consult with a specialist before proceeding.

In particular, when it comes to scalp-related issues, proceeding based on self-diagnosis is very dangerous, so please make sure to decide after consultation.

Problems related to the skin are often caused by multiple factors acting together rather than a single cause. The appropriate improvement method may differ depending on which cause has the greatest influence. Accordingly, please consult a specialist before undergoing any procedure.

Is hair loss... impossible to treat? First of all, not all hair loss is untreatable. If it is diagnosed early and proper treatment and care are combined, it can often be improved sufficiently or slowed down.

When the follicles themselves have not been completely destroyed, hair loss caused by temporary factors has a high chance of recovery if the cause is removed and treatment is provided.

However, in the case of genetic hair loss, a complete cure is difficult with modern science. That said, positive prospects are being suggested for hair loss as well, such as exosome "ExoHealer," which is a type of stem cell culture, so perhaps it will be solved someday?
