This is odd.

For the past year I keep getting extremely ky sore hair. As in agony to move it around. I have had it on lots of occasions. Nothing to do with hair style etc...

I had noticed if had calmed down a lot recently. I'm in the middle of trying lots of combined pills to try and manage my peri symptoms. The pill I have just switched from was progesterone dominant and, like I say, I didn't seem to get sore hair for a while. I'm now day 5 on a new pill. It has more estrogen. Suddenly today my hair has started hurting again. It is agony. It was fine a few hours ago avd now really sore.

Could estrogen be causing my sore hair? Anyone else experienced this.

Could it be shampoo, sometimes the skin becomes sensitive products that we have used for years 

[CrispyChick]

No. Seriously been through all those things in the last year. There is also nothing to see on my scalp.

Like I say, it's looking suspiciously hormonal today. I'm on day 5bof my new pill. Suddenly my mood dropped and my hair started hurting badly. It hasn't hurt for the last 6 weeks when I was on a more prog dominant pill..... (but that gave me loads of other problems).

I'm seriously thinking this too is hormonal..... 🤷‍♀️. I seem to have such rougue symptoms. I am so not text book 🙄

I went ouch earlier and thought of you.  Pulling my jumper over my head, hair needs washing = an ouch moment.  Next job will be then?

  it can get really painful. I searched and found a thread from 2014 on a similar topic. Has made me feel more normal.

No more replies here, do clearly not common. But then none of my symptoms are text book or common. Hey ho.....

This particular area was really, suddenly, painful 

Better since I washed it mid-morning and I've taken the scissors to the fringe    . Have you rubbed the sore areas with Nivea for a while, maybe overnight?  Lack of oestrogen can make the skin tender.

Hiya. I get this. Most of the time my scalp is so painful to touch even running a,hand through or  brushing hair hurts.. I had wondered if its linked to migraine but  my hair has been falling out for 4 years.

I too sometimes get it also around my collar bone and tops of arms I only have to touch lightly and it feels,like its bruising. It doesnt

Strange isnt it?

[Dierdre]

I get this around my crown and top of my head, feels like when you take a pony tail out thats been too tight as a child or changed your parting.  Once I wash my hair its fine again.

Mine I think is due to dirty scalp  as once washed and dried in the  it improves.  But my hair looks lank after 1 day so will change shampoo

[CrispyChick]

It is really odd. All I can say is, when I spent 6 weeks on a progesterone dominant pill this went away. Week one trialling an estrogen dominant pill and got really sore hair, suddenly. 🤷‍♀️. Only experienced this over the last year..... So I am suspiscious if could he hormonal.

[CLKD]

Probably due to a dry scalp in places?  Is there anyone who could look for you?

Hi CrispyChick,

I get sore scalp as a symptom of migraine. Fluctuations in oestrogen levels are a trigger for migraines. You can have silent migraines, without the throbbing headache.

Like Dierdre, I also feel better after washing my hair.

BeaR.

[CrispyChick]

Yes. It's odd. The wierdest thing. Some days OK, b as one days comes bad. Nothing to see.

Sometimes I feel like my whole scalp is tingling too.

I get this a lot though. Like I say it started almost a year ago. Don't remember having it before, other than if I had genuinely tied my hair up etc..... I never tie my hair up now.... Too scared.

My wrists are very sore - too much NinentdoDS over the last 18 months  and I have a ganglion on the Right .......

My scalp is sore again so must wash hair later.
