What is dermatitis?
Dermatitis is a general term for inflammation of the skin, which can include the scalp and often results in itching, redness, and irritation.
Scalp dermatitis may disrupt the normal function of hair follicles and contribute to temporary or chronic hair thinning, especially if left untreated.
Red light therapy may help reduce inflammation and improve skin barrier function, offering relief for individuals with scalp dermatitis and supporting a healthier environment for hair growth.
