If you’ve seen “HT7” mentioned in connection with your child’s scalp or hair, here’s what you need to know: HT7 has nothing to do with scalp or hair health. It’s actually an acupuncture point called Shenmen (“Spirit Gate”) used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help with emotional issues like anxiety, stress, and insomnia. It’s located on the wrist—not the scalp.

If your child has scalp symptoms, the cause is more likely one of these common conditions:

✅ Cradle Cap – Greasy, yellowish flakes on a baby’s scalp. Harmless and often clears on its own.
✅ Dandruff – White flakes and itching in older kids or teens. Often helped by dandruff shampoos.
✅ Folliculitis – Red bumps from irritated or infected hair follicles, sometimes caused by tight hairstyles.
✅ Eczema – Dry, itchy patches from sensitive skin or allergies. Needs moisturizing or medical care.
✅ Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm) – A contagious fungal infection that causes patchy hair loss and scaling. Needs prescription treatment.

If you’re unsure about your child’s scalp condition, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist. They can provide a clear diagnosis and safe, effective treatment.

In short: HT7 is for emotional well-being—not scalp issues. Stick with medical advice for hair and scalp concerns.
