Question 1

My nephew who will be eight weeks thursday has dry patches of skin in the t-zone. he has lots of flakes in his hair also. suggestions? ketoconazole?

Accepted Answer

At his age, i like to stay away from any prescription medications unless it is truly necessary.  Try to bath him in luke warm water with dove liquid soap.  After rinsing his skin, while still soaking wet, thinly rub in vasaline petroleum jelly for thirty seconds, then towel dry.  This should alieve most of his dryness and scaling.

If you do not like the smell of selsun, there are numerous other dandruff shampoos. Try head and shoulders, nizoral, (ketoconazole) dhs, t-sal. You fail to indicate if selsun cleared the flakes. If otc shampoo does not clear it, see a dermatologist.

Accepted Answer

You m,ay have any number of things to include lice, scabies or a skin rash such as eczema or psoriasis.  See your doctor for the correct diagnosis and proper treatment.  take a picture of your skin on your stomach and thighs for the doctor to see the progression incase it changes when you see her. Hope you get well soon.

Question 8

I am having severe thinning all over crown of my head.i had scales but now every thing is clear, will my hair regrow back and if yes in what time?

Accepted Answer

Glad to see you've been to a dermatologist.  You can consider using high doses of good quality marine fish oil to lubricate your skin from the inside.  You are young for male pattern baldness and if your hair was thicker before your skin that's a good sign.  I know it's a sensitive topic but keep your focus on being a good person and the superficial stuff will become less important.

Question 9

Can masturbating cause your hair to flake?

Accepted Answer

Do not think that there is any connection here. What hair are you referring to anyway? Pubic hair or hair on your head. Neither should flake due to masturbation.

Question 10

How do i protect my hair part from burning in the sun or treat when it flakes?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, wear a hat. If that is not feasible, use a spray-on broad-spectrum sunscreen at least twice a day.
