I know this sounds crazy but this is the only conclusion I can come to.
For the last 3 years I have had irritation and itching on the back of my head. I have scratched it so hard it becomes really sore.
Yesterday I went for a haircut and had it cropped really short at the back so that I could treat this itching.
I asked my daughter to have a look and she said" Dad you have a red line going across the back of your head from one side to the other'. It was then the penny dropped, and I realised what was causing the problem.
When using the pole we are looking up all the time, this has caused me to have a wrinkle across the back of my head, as this wrinkle closes short hair bristles are sticking into the skin, and this in turn causes the irritation.
I have noticed a bit of improvement in the condition this last week, this is because the hair had grown longer and was no longer sticking into the skin.
The only solution it seems it to let my hair grow longer at the back.
Anyone else ever had this problem?
