Pain in Hair Roots

[paddy_donaghy]

My hair roots really hurt in the crown area.  There is no itching and it has nothing to do with hair being in a ponytail or being pulled in any way. I am female and I have no hair loss.  I do not colour my hair and have used the same hair products for years. I have had this for about a year, and would like same advice.

Thankyou,,

Hi,
I have been having similar symptoms.  I have been to the Dr. and he said it was symptomatic of a migrane.  However, I'm a bit confused because I have no headache currently, but still have the scalp pain on the crown of my head.  Just as a note, mine started about 2 weeks after my Dr. put me on a high dose of synthroid.  Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I have since gone off of that medication but still have this pain.  Please keep me posted if you find anything out as I will do the same.

Hello,
From the symptoms trichodynia and trigeminal neuralgia need to be ruled out. Trichodynia is a condition when a patient experiences a painful sensation on his or her scalp. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
