Area of Science:

Dermatology
Trichology

Background:

Sensitive scalp is defined as sensitive skin on the scalp.
Sensitivity can be primary (no underlying disorder) or secondary (due to conditions like psoriasis or eczema).

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the clinical characteristics, triggers, and treatment options for primary sensitive scalp.

Main Methods:

Clinical observation and literature review.
Analysis of subjective symptoms and potential triggers.
Review of current and emerging treatment modalities.

Main Results:

Primary sensitive scalp presents with subjective symptoms like burning, itching, trichodynia, and dysesthesia, sometimes with hair loss.
Clinical appearance ranges from normal to erythematous skin.
Diagnosis is subjective; objective laboratory or histologic findings are absent.
Triggers include endogenous factors (stress) and exogenous factors (cosmetics).

Conclusions:

Sensitive scalp diagnosis is clinical and subjective.
Treatment requires individualization based on triggers and symptoms.
Therapeutic options include topical agents, hydration, and advanced therapies like platelet-rich plasma.
