What Causes Chronic Feeling Of Gritty Scalp?
My 91-year-old mother has been complaining for about 3 years of a gritty scalp, a microscopic sand that rubs off on her pillow and the chairs she uses. She has consulted doctors, dermatologists and read extensively in medical journals with no answer. Most don t believe her because they can t see or feel the sand. Can you help?

Hello,
The subjective feeling of sand rubbing off her pillow indicates Psychiatric disorder of fixed, firm belief which is not existing in terms of hallucination. She requires a consultation with an expert psychiatrist in this regard as no investigations will reveal anything positive in her case.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
