Can You Feel Hair Loss?

Published in Hair Loss 1 min read

While you can't directly feel the hair falling out, you might experience other sensations associated with hair loss. These sensations can vary depending on the cause of the hair loss.

  • Burning or stinging before sudden hair loss: Some individuals with alopecia areata might experience this.
  • Intense itching, burning, and tenderness where you have hair loss: If these sensations occur, it's possible you have an infection.

It's important to note that hair loss itself is usually painless. The discomfort comes from the underlying cause or the associated symptoms. If you notice any unusual sensations or hair loss, consulting a dermatologist is recommended to identify the cause and discuss appropriate treatment options.
