What disease is it that makes hair smell?

Each of us has smooth hair. Under normal circumstances, hair does not have any smell, and hair itself does not cause any pain. So if we smell an odor on our hair, what is the cause? This condition is caused by seborrheic dermatitis. We need to take medicine to relieve it, and we need to exercise more, drink more water, pay attention to rest, and ensure adequate sleep so that we can recover.

Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic papular and scaly inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas rich in sebaceous glands. This disease is more common in adults and newborns, and is prone to occur in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the head, face, and trunk.

The cause of this disease is not yet fully understood. The onset of seborrheic dermatitis may be related to sebum secretion, microorganisms, abnormal neurotransmitters, physical and climatic factors, nutritional deficiencies, and the effects of drugs. In recent years, the relationship between Pityrosporum ovale and seborrheic dermatitis has received attention, and it is believed that it plays an important role in the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis. In addition, mental factors, eating habits, vitamin B deficiency and alcoholism may also have a certain impact on the occurrence and development of this disease. Widespread and persistent seborrheic dermatitis can be an important cutaneous symptom of HIV infection.

Treatment: Live a regular life, get enough sleep, adjust your diet, eat more vegetables, limit high-fat and high-sugar foods, avoid drinking alcohol and spicy foods, and avoid excessive mental stress.
