Burning Scalp Syndrome
What is 'burning scalp syndrome'?
There is an article by Hoss in the March 1998 issue of Archives of
Dermatology, which describes "Scalp Dysesthesia". Some individuals who
develop a telogen effluvium report painful burning sensations in association
with excessive shedding of the hair. Until recently this problem was not
officially identified by dermatologists. The syndrome has been called “scalp
dysesthesia” or “burning scalp syndrome”. The cause of burning scalp syndrome
is unknown. Some dermatologists have successfully treated it with
antidepressants such as doxepin or amytryptaline. Richard Lee, M.D.
