Autoimmune??: Need more history. Try using coconut oil for 2-3 weeks daily at night and shower in morning. Take vitamin BIOTIN. Check for IRON DEFICIENCY and HYPOTHYROIDISM. If both are negative,then you need to see a different dermatologist. Good Luck. I would prefer a little more history though.

Hair consultant: Visit an upscale barber salon and get advice about the condition of your hair and its proper care. If you continue to experience scalp redness, scaling, and tenderness obtain a consultation with another dermatologist.
