Specializes in Dermatology

First you need to : find out what's going on. Scalp inflammation can be just a form of dandruff(but isn't normally related to hair loss). Then you need to determine causes of your hair loss (?thyroid and anemia or iron deficiency/ferritin are common, vs stress induced alopecia). So I would make an appointment with dermatologist soon
