Why do your hair roots hurt?
Cancer treatments are designed to eliminate cancer cells. Unfortunately, their mode of action often damages healthy cells, especially those with rapid cell renewal, such as skin and hair, which leads to a number of undesirable effects such as scalp dysesthesia. Itching related to cancer treatment is just one symptom, but it is particularly bothersome in everyday life.
In the case of scalp dysesthesia, cancer treatments cause a reduction in the activation threshold of pain receptors distributed on the scalp, resulting in an increase in scalp sensitivity. The micro-inflammation of the hair follicle is then aggravated by various factors such as temperature, pressure, chemicals, stress, anxiety, etc.
