Hair breakage is usually caused by a bacterial infection and, if left untreated, can become dangerous. Let's find out who is most likely to experience it.
Causes of Baltod: You wake up in the morning and find a small pimple or boil on your body. It resembles a red or white rash and may be accompanied by itching or mild pain. This is called Bal Tod. It is a common skin problem. It causes inflammation or infection in the hair follicle. People often ignore it, considering it a minor problem, but sometimes it develops into a boil and causes significant discomfort. Let us tell you who gets it first and how dangerous it is.
Whose hair breaks first?
According to Mayo Clinic, hair breakage is most common in diabetic patients, people who sweat excessively, and those who frequently shave or wear tight clothes. In simple words, this problem can appear early in people who have the habit of wearing tight or breathable clothes, apart from diabetic patients. Continuous sweat and heat retention increase pressure on the hair roots and can lead to infection. This problem is also common in people who sweat excessively. Sweat maintains moisture on the skin, and this moisture creates an environment for the growth of bacteria or fungus.
Symptoms of hair breakage
Initially, it appears as small, red or white bumps. They often cause a mild itching or burning sensation. Sometimes, these bumps can develop into small, pus-filled pimples. Some people may experience pain or a burning sensation at the site. If the problem worsens, the bumps can coalesce to form a large, painful boil. If left untreated, it can lead to scarring or deep scarring.
When it comes to prevention, cleanliness is paramount. Bathe daily and thoroughly wash and dry your body after sweating. Diabetics and those with weakened immunity should exercise special caution, as they are more likely to experience this condition. Those who frequently experience folliculitis should avoid sharing other people's towels, razors, or clothing.
