On the effect of glycolic acid on scalp itching
Nowadays, there is a problem of scalp itching, and everyone is looking for a good remedy to solve its suffering. Recently, glycolic acid has attracted more and more attention in the field of skin care and hair care, so its effect on scalp itching has been explored.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid. Its molecules are tiny and can easily penetrate the stratum corneum of the scalp. If the stratum corneum is too thick, it is easy to cause clogging of hair follicles and cause itching. Glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, promote the shedding of old keratin, maintain the normal metabolism of the stratum corneum of the scalp, and then dredge the hair follicles, or reduce the itching caused by blockage.

Furthermore, scalp itching is often caused by the growth of microorganisms. Glycolic acid has certain antibacterial properties and can inhibit the growth of common itchy microorganisms such as Malassezia. Malassezia is easy to multiply in the rich oil of the scalp, irritating the scalp and causing itching. Glycolic acid inhibits its growth, or can relieve itching from the root cause.

However, the use of glycolic acid also needs to be cautious. It has a certain degree of acidity. If the concentration is too high or used improperly, it is easy to irritate the scalp, cause redness and tingling of the scalp, and aggravate the itching. Therefore, when using, choose the product with the appropriate concentration according to your own scalp condition, and follow the correct use method, such as trying it first on a small area of scalp, expanding the scope of use without discomfort, and controlling the frequency of use.

In short, glycolic acid may be one of the ways to relieve scalp itching, but it must be used with caution to avoid its harm and to return the scalp to a comfortable and healthy state.
