An in-person evaluation is necessary for a one-year-old itchy, painful scalp wound accompanied by hair loss, which may indicate a chronic infection, inflammatory scalp disease, or scarring alopecia. As early treatment is crucial to preventing irreversible hair loss, please visit a dermatologist as soon as possible for an examination and potential tests.

Having a wound on your head that has lasted a year, causes itching and pain, and is associated with hair loss is concerning and needs careful evaluation. This could indicate an ongoing infection, inflammation, or a skin condition affecting the scalp.

  • It is important to see a dermatologist (skin specialist) promptly for a thorough examination and possibly a biopsy or culture to determine the cause.
  • Avoid scratching the area to prevent further damage or infection.
  • Do not apply any new topical treatments without medical advice, especially since some products require prescriptions and may not be suitable without diagnosis.
  • If you notice worsening pain, spreading redness, swelling, fever, or discharge, seek urgent medical attention.
