why does my hair hurt.

[rattusrattus]

your hair hurts?

hair can't hurt - it doesn't have nerves in it. if hair was sensitive to pain, you would feel pain everytime you had a haircut.

if you mean at your hair roots, you might have an infection of your hair follicles. if you mean that your scalp hurts, you could be aneimic. scalp pain and thining hair was one of my anemia symptoms.

i hope you get it sorted out.

Do you have fibromyalgia at all as I know this happens to me now and then, I always put it down to the nervous system.

Good luck and I hope your pains subside soon.

Sometimes when I've had an infection I've had pain which I would describe as "my hair hurting". Usually it's been down to a nasty bout of tonsilitis and just about everything hurts including the scalp. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
