Scalp Infection
When the scalp shows redness, scaling, itching, or small lesions that do not subside, it may be a scalp infection, caused by fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms.
What is it? It is the colonization of the skin of the head by infectious agents that generate inflammation and, sometimes, temporary hair loss in the affected area.
Common symptoms: Itching, scales, crusts, redness and, at times, local pain or discharge.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the go-to for identifying the type of infection; the infectious disease specialist and the general practitioner can also get involved depending on the case. When faced with problems that persist on the scalp, the prudent thing is to have it evaluated by a professional.
