A member asked:
I often, if possible, feel pain in the hair or maybe the follicle. is that typical for trich patients or could it be something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair pain: Sensitive skin or hair follicle is common and called allodynia. It can be from fever, infections, and migraine to name a few. Dehydration can aggravate. So increase fluids, sometimes an anitinflammatory medication can help.
