Robin -
Have you noticed how many ads there are on TV for "Scalpicin"? It's an OTC med for itchy scalp. Must be a big seller, judging by the advertising budget they have.

You can compare our malady to all the TV drugs, this is not a strange or uncommon malady, we have strange vectors of it such as the lesions, but many have small unassuming problems, the TV drugs are symptom supressors of this same malady, that is all they are. They cure nothing only maintenance drugs for symptoms, causeing NEW symptoms. We are awake to all the turmoil that this monster creates, so are the drug companys!! Can you imagine some greedy slime bucket sitting there in glee over the amount of PAPER money rewards he receives from the profit made on human suffering, Adolf Hitler was a saint compared to these maggots. You know China has the right idea, they put there drug honcho to death for deception in drugs. They are also thinking about doing it now to the people in charge of the melamine poisoning. Think about Malamine AMERICANS we taught the CHINESE to use it, the garbage is USDA approved for our consumtion!! These people caused murder of the many, why shouldnt they pay with their lives. Isn't it true that a robber that kills (one man ) with a gun will get death, why does a man that, allows bad drugs to be used or a person or person's that steals billions and causes the death of many in any form allowed to walk free or get rewards in this country. Whistle blowers are fired and hounded for doing the right thing and we stand by and let them stand alone. China can we use your hangman for about a 5 busy years?

Herpes is a disease which may be involved with some scalp symptoms. Though not commonly thought about as a cause the herpes viruses can effect the scalp areas with lesions, oozing and itching. Not as common as other scalp problems, but it is a possibility for those who are immune compromised or older.

Hair Loss: Severe scalp pain and diffuse loss, herpes virus, scalp pain

"Doctor my scalp is pink and moving hairs around hurts, it itches, burns and there is obvoius hair loss, some of my scalp now has a shine to it. The pain and hair loss appear to be connected. When the flare is not active, the shed seems less, when my scalp is on fire, hairs seem to drop out easily even short hairs. Today the pain is unbearable and scalp is very pink. I just feel very hopeless if I did not see pink or have missing hair I would try and not think about it, but the fact that its pink and the hair loss is excessive showing my scalp scares me very much. I start to physically feel ill after a day of the pain. Then some says it seems to ease up. I have to emphasize the pain - its very intense.

With the herpes virus is there a blood test that can be performed.

I know im asking you some very difficult questions via the internet and I do appreciate your trying to help me. It feels like my scalp is being eaten from the inside out

-----Question-----
Dear Doctor, thank you for your time.

I am a 37yr old female who 8 months ago began experiencing severe scalp pain, burning, itching and a pins and needles sensation throughout. At that same time I had noticed within a few weeks about 20% of diffuse hair loss throughout the scalp. No rashes, bumps, pimples, bald spots -pain feels deeper in teh dermis and is not relived by anything including Motrin or pain killers. At times burn can travel down face - any ideas? I've been all over to every doc with every test that is normal. Im feeling very hopeless at this point. Does this ring a bell as to any particular skin or systemic disorder to you?

-----Answer-----
It may be some varient of Bell's Palsy or some other problem affecting the sensory nerves going to the scalp. Bell's palsy affects the facial cranial nerve and causes paralysis of facial muscles and Herpes Simplex as well as Herpes Zoster have been implicated as causes. I am not saying this is Bell's Palsy but rather the same causes could have affected a sensrory nerve to the scalp. A Neurologist would be the specialist to see. He may want to order titers of antigens to Herpes Simplex. It could be something pressing on the nerve or a varient of a migraine. It does not seem to be a skin and hair problem. It is a nerve problem. I would bet the hair loss is just a reaction due to the stress called a telogen effluvium."

Résumé / Abstract
We report the case of a 70-year-old man with a 1 year history of relapsing folliculitis of the scalp. Bacteriological, mycological and the Tzanck tests from the lesions were negative. Histopathological study showed suppurative perifollicular flogosis. Virological cultures were negative, while HSV nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) assays made on swabs and histological sections from the scalp lesions demonstrated the presence of herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) in all samples. Skin swabs of healthy areas yielded negative results for HSV-2 infection. The folliculitis showed a marked and quick improvement after therapy with famciclovir suggesting a possible etiologic role of HSV-2 in the scalp folliculitis."
