What Causes Scabs on the Scalp?



 Scabs on the scalp can be caused by various factors, including:


1. Injuries: Scratching, picking, or accidentally injuring the scalp can lead to scab formation.


2. Dandruff: Excessive flaking of the scalp due to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or dry scalp can result in scabs.


3. Psoriasis: A chronic skin condition that can cause red, scaly patches on the scalp, which may become scabs.


4. Eczema: Scalp eczema can cause itching, redness, and flaking, leading to scabs when scratched.


5. Fungal Infections: Fungal infections like ringworm can affect the scalp, causing scaly, itchy areas that may form scabs.


6. Allergies: Allergic reactions to hair products or certain chemicals can irritate the scalp, leading to scab formation.


7. Lice: Infestations of head lice can cause itching and small sores that can turn into scabs.


8. Skin Conditions: Other skin conditions like folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles) can also lead to scabbing on the scalp.
