Just Discovered This In My Son’s Hair
Clarifying HT7’s Purpose
HT7, also known as “Shenmen” or “Spirit Gate,” is an acupuncture point in Traditional Chinese Medicine used for emotional issues like anxiety, insomnia, and stress, not for hair or scalp conditions.
Common Scalp Issues in Children
If your child has scalp concerns, it could be due to:
-
Cradle Cap: Yellowish, greasy scales common in infants, typically harmless.
-
Dandruff: Flaky, itchy scalp in older kids, treated with special shampoos.
-
Folliculitis: Red bumps from irritation or bacteria affecting hair follicles.
-
Eczema: Dry, itchy patches that may need moisturizers or medication.
-
Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm): A fungal infection causing hair loss, requiring prescription treatment.
Seek Professional Advice
For proper diagnosis and treatment, it’s always best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist.
Conclusion
“HT7 is for emotional healing, not scalp health.”
