    Glossary Trichodynia

    painful or burning sensation on the scalp without visible irritation

    Trichodynia, also known as scalp dysesthesia or hair pain, is a condition characterized by a painful or burning sensation on the scalp, often accompanied by a feeling of itching or tingling. This discomfort can occur even without any visible signs of irritation or inflammation and is sometimes associated with hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium or alopecia areata. The exact cause is not well understood, but it may involve nerve dysfunction or psychological factors.
