Hair loss and flaking scalp

long story short ive been losing hair quickly since last yr. lost the temples and my hairline is higher. have diffuse thinning all over the top and sides.

i started usin nizoral shampoo at the beginning of this yr on a suggestion by someone. they told me the description of my hairloss was seborrheic dermatitis.

i had been seein lots of flakes in my hair thought it was dandruff. ive always washed my hair with head & shoulders dandruff shampoo and never had a problem before w/dandruff. upon further inspection i think its actually dead skin flakes.

recently i noticed at the top of my forehead by the temples and hairline the skin is literally peeling off, and theres sort of scab-like marks on my skin. my scalp has been rather itchy as of late too.

in addition ive had skin problems in the past couple yrs too......psoriasis on my hands, rashes all over my body, my face is extremely red and cant get rid of redness, acne breakouts

if anyone can tell me whats wrong id love to know. i dont want to lose my hair at 23 but im hesitant to take rogaine or propecia if im not losing it due to MPB

Re: Hair loss and flaking scalp

I would definitely go seek a dermatologist, but I think very few dermatitis conditions can cause hair loss.

Re: Hair loss and flaking scalp

yea thats prolly my best bet

i saw a doctor for a bunch of symptoms ive been experiencin and when i mentioned the hairloss she didnt really say anything

what i got from peeling skin and hair loss:

Causes: Possible diseases
# Burns
# Eczema
# Exfoliative dermatitis
# Psoriasis
# Vitamin A overdose

maybe exfoliative dermatitis....ill have to look it up.

Re: Hair loss and flaking scalp

I was going to post about this too, my scalp gets very flaky in the same areas you have. I can literally scrape my nail on the scalp to remove all the flakes. then it scabs up.

Dandruff shampoos are so drying & only tangle my hair & make it very hard.

I told my derm about this & she prescribed me some anti itching gel, but i don't think it was meant for the scalp & it just made it more dry.

Let me know what helps you.
