Why Does My Head (and Pillow) Get "hot" When I

Probably contact dermatitis, follow the advice below
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms are probably related to contact dermatitis.
It is an inflammation of the scalp due to the contact with several allergens.
The allergens can be related to the detergent that you wash your pillows or other fragrances.
Another possible cause can be sweating while sleeping.
So, I recommend:
-Keep the bedroom cool
-Use gentle cleansers for the pillowcases
-Use breathable materials such as cotton and change the bedding regularly
-In case of itching use an antihistamine such as Benadryl.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
