Showhead drips with water off. Do I just buy a new one? (lemmy.world)

It steadily has dropped for a year or more and I can't take it anymore. If I replace will they fix? I pulled it off and even with the water off there is still water coming out of the pipe at a slow, slow drip pace. Is it the water shut off that needs help? Would of course prefer the cheaper fix but if a new head isn't going to stop the leak it'd be good to know.

TIA

Thank you very much for this explanation, I will look into the cartridge replacement. I found a general "how to" on home depot(their videos are good for those who are completely new to something) and now feel confident I could replace it.
