Stress and Depression Caused My Scalp to Itch and Bleed – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I have had hair loss int he past caused by stress and depression in the form of scalp inflammation, itchiness, and bleeding. i went to a dermatologist but every sample take showed nothing. The problem is gone, but my my hair wont grow in some spots and is very visible when I let my hair grow. Im tired of people looking up at my hair, or at least im paranoid to think they are. Is there a way to make it grow, or is it completely damaged?

I’ve never heard of depression or stress causing a scalp to bleed. Is the bleeding self-inflicted from pulling your hair or scratching your scalp? You may have permanent hair loss from those actions. If your hair has not grown after about one year after the insult, I suspect it has been killed off. I also suspect, based on what you’ve written, that you must’ve been scratching the scalp to cause the bleeding and hair loss.

  1. When I scratch my head, I feel good about having done that as it somehow releases tension on my head. However, there comes a point when I scratch it too much – and now your head becomes susceptible to headache. It is not exactly a bad habit to scratch your head now and then but when you do it frequently it can give you pain like a headache.
