Thinner Follicles More Vulnerable to Bleeding?

[Vigaku]

Yeah...

Does someone know why areas a man would be thinning in, hurt more when scratching them, and are more likely to bleed than say the side and back of the head?

My current guess is inflammation but I'd want to be sure. Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!! :sobbing:

Inflammation , is my guess too. Aggravating the already inflammed scalp. Now GGXX , if your scalp is really that bad , you should visit a doctor. I know none of the doctors around here know about the correlation between male pattern baldness and inflammation of the hair follicle but you should at least bring it up with your local GP. I have very aggressive male pattern baldness matched with aggressive inflammation. I find that the longer the length of my hair the worse inflammation is , most likely because it thrives in heat but, I don't even know if thats true it's just my guess.

If Nizoral is too harsh for you switch to T-Gel sensitive scalp. It has helped me immensely. Also make sure you condition after each shower , a tea tree conditioner is best. Use luke warm water for showers. I've also heard some good feedback on The Body Shop's Ginger Shampoo. It is next on the list for me to try and it also has P-O as an ingredient.

By the way , what age are you?

Turned 20 last month.

I thing longer hair would hurt more because, there would be more pressure on the follicles. Anyway, I don't have aggressive inflammation. It's very rare that I complain about pain. If it gets worse, I'm seeing a doctor. It makes sense inflammation is the reason for thin follicles being more vulnerable to bleeding, or anything. Just want to see what others think.
