The doctor says that this is part of \u201ca growing epidemic among African American women\u201d. He said that he sees up to 10 women a day for it. But it is preventable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a weave is sewn too tightly, it can lead to a bacterial infection as it pulls on your own hair. Treatments for this infection could include steroids and antibiotics for you to take, but it may leave your hair permanently damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another problem is over-processing your hair. But this can be helped by having relaxers done professionally at salons, and not more than once every few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience pain, tightness, swelling, pus, or bleeding, you should see a doctor right away.
