Accepted Answer

Scalp itching : and tingling may be due seborrhea or dry scalp. Dandruff shampoo may be helpful

Question 2

sudden burning/itching tingling feeling on body moves around. head itches, red blotchy skin and just tingling everywhere more at night. other symptoms i have sometimes at diff times are: edema, hair loss, joint pain . all auto immune labs normal?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Take multivitamins, just in case.

Question 3

burning sensation on spot of scalp mean hair loss?

Accepted Answer

No, but if: it continues you should have your doctor evaluate it.

Question 4

my scalp is red, inflammed and i'm experiencing severe hair loss.  i feel crawling sensation and itchiness on scalp. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hopefully: Hopefully just seborrheic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options.

Question 5

i have a burning sensation on the vertex of my scalp.  have had it for past 6 months and accompanied by meaningful hair loss.   what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 6

is there "real" help for hair loss for women?  2 long story. anesthesia started it. hasn't changed. i am mortified. 1/2's gone.

Accepted Answer

Lots of reasons: Go see your family doc and even get a referral to a dermatologist specializing in hair loss. First, remember that stress can lead to hair loss. Child birth & hospitalization are classic causes of stress but so is surgery. Hair eventually comes back several months later. Thyroid disease can do this too. So can too much testosterone & its derivative, dihydrotestosterone. So get tested and see derm.

Question 7

woman;s hair loss from a crash diet?

Accepted Answer

Will stabilize: The hair will return over a period of 6 months but rogaine (minoxidil) could be used in interval as stimulant to hair growth. Suggest checking blood for thyroid status, as well as iron levels. These can contribute to hair loss.

Question 8

does nutrafol have any science/research backing up its efficacy for hair loss?

Accepted Answer

: This is a supplement so we do not have supportive scientific data for a good advice. There are many info about this product in the internet so you can search and make your own decision. Good luck.

Question 9

4m pp, thyroid levels normal, thyroid enlarged, u/s today. how long until normal pp hair loss and exhaustion level out? i am bf'ing

Accepted Answer

Could be months: Your hair is not lost, just breaking off. It should grow out normally, but may take several months since hair grows intermittently not continuously. Give it time, and avoid chemical treatments. Continue the iron to build your blood count back toward normal.

Question 10

can i reverse hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) can be reversed with rogaine (minoxidil) or Propecia if it's started soon enough. To maintain the results they have to be used on an ongoing basis. Hair loss due to pregnancy, trauma or shock will grow back with time. Hair loss due to underlying medical problems (ie: anemia) can be reversed if the medical problem is treated.
