Headache: causes and treatment methods

 Headaches are less common 



compared to other areas of the body, but they can be very annoying. What are the causes of the appearance of head pills? And what are the ways to treat it?



Headaches generally appear as a result of an allergic reaction that you may be experiencing or as a result of the hair follicles being closed, and in both cases it is not considered dangerous.

Clogged pores often cause acne, so keeping the scalp and hair clean and using medicated or appropriate shampoos may prevent this problem. But what are the other reasons for the appearance of these grains in the head area?


  1.  Causes of head acne


 One of the most likely reasons for the appearance of pimples is the blockage of pores or hair follicles, as we mentioned, and this happens when dead skin cells and oils that the body naturally secretes enter the pores in the skin.

 Besides, it is possible for bacteria and germs to enter these pores to cause inflammation!


 The other reasons that can cause the appearance of pimples on the head include:


  •  Folliculitis: It is a type of skin inflammation that results from damage to the hair follicles, and may cause the appearance of red bumps on the head.


  •  Presence of lice in the hair: lice do not directly cause the appearance of head pimples, but they cause severe itching, which may result in scraping the scalp and inflammation, and then the emergence of pimples.


  •  Acne on the scalp: It may appear due to bacteria or a change in hormonal levels. It may also appear due to the accumulation of different hair products and not washing it frequently or even wearing hats, which increases the friction with the scalp.


  •  Allergic reaction: To a certain type of hair product or exposure to something allergic.


  •  Dandruff: Sometimes dandruff can cause the appearance of pimples, and it may be associated with other symptoms such as itchy head and dry scalp.


  •  Pilar cysts: It is possible for a person to develop this problem due to the accumulation of keratin in the cysts of the skin under the scalp, causing the appearance of pimples.


  •  Skin cancer: Sometimes pimples may appear due to a certain type of skin cancer that affects the most sun-exposed places, such as the head.


  •  Scalp psoriasis: This health problem may cause red, scaly patches to appear on the scalp, accompanied by itching, which may result in scaling and bleeding in the area, and thus a greater chance of pimples.


 It is worth noting that pimples may appear in the back area or on the hairline, and are more common in this area, depending on the main cause of their appearance.

 
2: What can you do to treat head acne?

 The treatment of headaches is determined after diagnosing the infection and the underlying cause. In general, the different treatments are as follows:


  •  Uses warm compresses on the affected area.


  •  Resorting to certain types of shampoos such as antibacterial ones.


  •  Ensure that your shampoo or conditioner does not cause acne breakouts


  •  The use of hair products that contain salicylic acid, which contributes to the exfoliation of dead skin cells so that they do not accumulate inside the pores, and there are other substances that may help treat head acne, including glycolic acid.


  •  Use tea tree oil, which has antibacterial properties, which helps fight head pimples.


  •  Add jojoba oil to your shampoo, which works to reduce the inflammation of the head when it appears.


  •  Minimize the use of oil-based products to avoid clogging the pores.


  •  Use cold water when washing hair.


 Your doctor may prescribe some medications in order to treat the main cause of the headaches.


3: Prevention of head acne

 Scalp hygiene plays a key role in avoiding clogged pores, so it is recommended to wash hair whenever you feel greasy or oily and after each exercise.


 You can also follow the following preventive tips:


  •  Determine if you are allergic to any of the hair products used.


  •  Stay away from people who have a lice problem.


  •  Wear loose-fitting head coverings that allow the scalp to breathe and prevent chafing.


  •  Washing hair shortly after exercise.


  •  Use natural and hypoallergenic hair products.


  •  Avoid using too many hair products such as gels.


  •  Get enough vitamin A, D, and E to keep skin healthy.


 For some people, infrequent hair washing may cause acne to appear on the scalp, but for others, frequent hair washing can strip the skin of protective sebum, increasing the chance of pollutants and bacteria entering
