Red scalp on the back of the head

Since most people have a lot of hair on their heads, most people cannot directly observe the color of their scalp. However, a person's scalp color can also reflect their physical health, so everyone should observe their scalp color regularly in their lives. Some people find that the color of the scalp at the back of their head is red, which is in sharp contrast with the scalp in other areas. So what causes the redness of the scalp at the back of the head?

Scalp color reflects health

Pink: Moisturizing and anti-oxidation, timely ice application

A pink scalp is a sign of an aging, oxygen-deprived scalp. Japanese scalp care expert Maka Tamura said that scalp problems will increase after the age of 30. This is because the scalp is an extension of the facial skin and begins to age after the age of 28. It is recommended to improve the condition by promoting blood circulation and removing active oxygen that causes aging, and to supplement with foods containing vitamins C and E.

In addition, pink scalp is very common in people with allergies and dry skin. The skin's water retention function is low, the scalp is easily lost of moisture, and it will also be more sensitive to external stimuli such as ultraviolet rays and dust. At this time, the body's immunity is low and prone to allergies. The scalp should be moisturized to enhance the skin's moisturizing function, and external stimulation should be avoided as much as possible. If a strong itching sensation occurs, ice cubes and ice water can be put in a plastic bag for ice compresses. Please pay attention to the ice compress time to avoid frostbite.

Redness: Wash your hair with your fingertips and choose the right shampoo to fight inflammation

Redness of the scalp is caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, scalp inflammation, and the use of inappropriate products. Sweating and using hair dye in this state will make the situation worse. In addition, using a comb or nails may scratch the scalp and cause itching.

The initial symptom is itching. If not properly treated and the inflammation is left untreated, it will develop into hair loss. This symptom is the most common condition in hair loss, especially in patients with seborrheic dermatitis. Using inappropriate shampoos containing surfactants, fragrances, mineral oils, foaming agents and preservatives can also irritate the scalp and improve the inflammation.

It is recommended that you switch to using a special shampoo and use your fingertips instead of your fingernails when washing your hair. In addition, another major cause of red scalp is poor blood circulation, which can be improved through proper exercise, hot baths to promote sweating, and increased metabolism. You can also eat more foods containing vitamin E, such as bonito, saury, almonds, and soybean powder.

Orange: adequate sleep, detoxification and good liver health

Even if your scalp is not a problem now, it may become a problem in the future. At this time, the oxygen and nutrients necessary for hair growth are insufficient, waste substances accumulate, and healthy hair cannot grow. It is also a signal of liver problems, so you should adjust your work and rest schedule and get enough sleep.

Yellowish: Regular life, adjust your work and rest schedule

If your scalp is yellowish, it is probably because there is a problem inside your body. Busy work, too little sleep, frequent smoking and drinking, and it is also common in people with allergies.

In this case, blood circulation in the body is poor, lymph nodes are blocked, the body remains in a tense state, and often feels stressed. If this physical state is maintained for a long time, it will cause low immunity, excessive burden on internal organs, and become prone to illness. First of all, you need to lead a regular life and sleep at least 7 hours a day. If you can't do that, at least go to bed before 11 pm to allow the secretion of growth hormones that can enhance immunity.
