HT7 Has Nothing to Do with Scalp or Hair Health — Here’s What You Should Know

If you’ve come across the term “HT7” in connection with your child’s hair or scalp, there’s been a misunderstanding. HT7 refers to an acupuncture point called

Shenmen (“Spirit Gate”) used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for emotional issues like anxiety, insomnia, and stress — not for scalp or hair conditions.

When dealing with scalp concerns in children, the issue is more likely one of the following:

Cradle Cap: Greasy, yellowish scales on an infant’s scalp; harmless and usually resolves with gentle care.

Dandruff: Common in teens and older kids, causing flaky, itchy scalp. Treated with special shampoos.

Folliculitis: Inflammation of hair follicles from irritation or bacteria, showing as red bumps.

Eczema: Causes dry, itchy scalp patches, often needing moisturizers or medicated treatments.

Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm): A fungal infection causing hair loss and scaly patches; requires prescription treatment.

For any scalp issue, it’s best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.

While HT7 is useful in emotional healing through acupuncture, it’s not connected to scalp or hair health.
