I'm dealing with dandruff and noticed my hair's been thinning since I was 23. It's getting pretty thin now. Is it okay for me to try using a derma roller on my scalp even though I've got dandruff?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Infection risk: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections.
- Irritation: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation.
Preparation is Key
Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair:
- Treat the dandruff: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.

I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?
