If you’ve seen “HT7” mentioned in connection with your child’s scalp or hair, know that it has nothing to do with hair health. HT7 is an acupuncture point called Shenmen, or “Spirit Gate,” located on the wrist. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s used to help with emotional issues like anxiety, stress, and insomnia. As the article says, “HT7 has nothing to do with hair or scalp conditions.”

If your child has scalp issues, it’s more likely one of these common conditions:

* **Cradle Cap**: Greasy yellow or brown flakes in infants, usually harmless and improves with gentle washing.
* **Dandruff**: Common in older kids, with white flakes and itching, often managed with special shampoos.
* **Folliculitis**: Red bumps or pimples from inflamed hair follicles, caused by tight hairstyles or bacteria.
* **Eczema**: Dry, itchy patches often linked to allergies, treatable with moisturizing products or medicated shampoos.
* **Tinea Capitis**: A contagious fungal infection causing round bald patches, requiring prescription antifungals.

Always consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. As the article advises, “Staying informed and consulting medical experts ensures your child receives the right care.”
