A member asked:

What can be done for neuropathy on your head?

Dr. Alvin Wells answered

Specializes in Rheumatology

Neuropathy: The first question is to determine the cause of the neuropathy. For example, shingles can result in neuropathy of the scalp. There are several "neurotrophic" drugs that can be tried. I would consult a neurologist.
