For the last six months my scalp has been really sore on the middle part of my head. I though my hair was just getting to heavy so I cut off 12in, which did not help at all! So I started parting my hair on the side of my head but my scalp still hurts in the same area and I have really short hair. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It seems to minor to go to a doctor. It is just so uncomfortable.

Hi

I have this problem, some days worse than others. I stopped a certain medication a couple of months ago and the sore-feeling lessened considerably. But I can still get sore there, and some of the causes include: irritating products on my scalp (herbs such as cloves, cinnamon, peppermint oil, I also used to get irritation from henna/buxus treatments). Also if I brush my scalp too hard, or have sun exposure it can feel burned at the crown of my head. In short, lots of different things can set it off. Now I'm aware of it and more careful, and I feel like I have some control over it.
