Scratching your head when it's itchy?

[elvis123]

Is it good or bad? I know that male pattern baldness sufferers sometimes have itchy scalps around the crown and temples where they are going to lose hair. When it itches would scratching it not be good for the scalp? Does scratching release histamines or something?

Or if you scratch too hard or frequently you might pull some hair our or make your scalp bleed?

well i would think it would not be wise to scratch your scalp to the point where it might bleed. When i was lossing my hair my scalp was very itchy and i itched it a lot. But ultimatly itching might make you feel better in your head it wont benifit the best you can do is tackle the issue head on and use the right treatment e.g nizoral and such products to get the scalp in teh best health it can be, but my all means have a little itch who could resist lol
