Question: I wear a wig. Lately I've noticed it pulsating or like jthe hair on the ends jerking back and forth. What is causing this? I deliver mail and more than a few times, strands of hair start moving on its own. All I can find online is morgellons. But doctors say its no such thing. Im scared to tell my doctor if only thinks I'm imagining it. SO is Morgellons Realnor Not. im confused.

Brief Answer:
Don't believe it can be morgellons

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Normally the hair on a wig can move a bit.
Possibly you have not paid attention to it before and now you have noticed it and are obsessed with it.
I don't believe it can be morgellons.
I don't believe it can be a problem at all.
Better get distracted when you start feeling it and do another thing in order to remove your attention from the movements.
If it is becoming a problem to you better chance to another wig or a shorter cut in order not to have much hair moving.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
