Me again with another question! I was prescribed by my dermatologist the 2 above treatments for my itchy scalp and sensitivity. He always said my scalp looked healthy on previous visits and I called him today and told him my head was itching severely with tiny white balls of gunk... He prescribed me these two things without even looking at my scalp. He is about an hour drive away...



Have any of you ever used either of these? I am very nervous about using them. I know the steroid… Continue

I don't know what to do.. I have been suffering from this severe scalp pain and burning, itching, sensitivity, etc... for almost 7 months and am mentally and physically exhausted. Doctor after doctor and no diagnosis. I am sick of hearing that it is anxiety and worrying about my hair. The pain and hair loss go hand in hand so how can they not find something physically wrong?

Hi.. I am seeing an Internal Medicine doctor on Thursday because the scalp pain is driving me to near suicide. I can't touch my hair or head and it is worse than the hair loss at times. Are there any questions that I should ask the doctor? Any specific tests? Thanks!

This caused me to have hives, itchiness, redness, hot feeling, etc... I did more damage than good. My Vitamin D3 was low and my doc told me to take 4000 units a day to boost it back up. I know Vitamin D has a lot to do with your mood and depression but I also read today it can cause scalp pain and hair loss if… Continue

Hi y'all... I have had so many labs done and scalp checks and everything looks good and normal. I was wondering how you were diagnosed with alopecia, female pattern baldness, etc.. Does it show up on any tests? Should I be getting a certain test done for an actual diagnosis? So confused about what steps to take! Thanks for any advice! My scalp is itchy, burning and feels like hairs are being pulled. It's super sensitive and can hurt in the wind, sun, water, etc.. It can also be tender to the… Continue
