Is trichodynia a symptom from thinning hair caused by seborrheic dermatitis?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, this isn't usually a symptom of seborrheic dermatitis. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Seborrheic dermatitis does not cause hair loss and hair thinning it self .If you have pain on scalp you would better to have a full exam with an hair expert, surgeon, internalist and/or endocrinologist to find out the reason for that.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Seborrheic dermatitis can cause a range of symptoms including itching, burning and scalp soreness. Trichodynia is typically used to describe scalp pain and soreness in the absence of an obvious inflammatory trigger. So generally, I don't use the term trichodynia in its strictest sense when discussing inflammatory scalp dermatoses like seborrheic dermatitis. But certainly, seborrheic dermatitis can cause scalp symptoms.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Trichodhnia is scalp pain and the cause is not related to hair loss or seborrheic dermatitis. Many times it is psychological in origin
