Warning Signs of Diabetes: Understanding the Link Between Itchy Scalp and Blood Sugar Levels

2024-01-27 09:29:31

Al-Marsad newspaper: Health experts have warned that an itchy scalp might indicate increased blood sugar levels as a result of uncontrolled or undiagnosed diabetes.

“High blood sugar can cause inflammation and damage organs, tissues and blood vessels,” says pharmacist Abbas Kanani. “This can make your body have difficulty transporting oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which can damage the hair growth cycle.”

He added: “Blood circulation can be poor when you have diabetes, and this can lead to dry and itchy skin.”

He continued: “It allows bacteria to grow when there are high levels of sugar in the blood and tissues, and this also helps the infection develop more quickly.”
