Concept not a treatment: if i scratched my scalp to a point of irritation, wouldnt that increase perfusion to my scalp/hair follicles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a great idea: Scratching your scalp can cause small breaks in your skin which can lead to irritation and possibly even infection. If you want to increase blood flow to your scalp, try warm water.
