Itching

Hey guys. Just curious on everyone's level of itching. My head itches like CRAZY when the hair falls out. normally skin itches when hair grows in right? Anyone know why?
I stopped going to the dermatologist after 4 rounds of injections. I felt it did more harm than good for me. I am not a fan of chemicals being blasted into my head and it didn't seem to make the hair grow back. but doctorless, I'm left with a ton of questions about this condition.

I was coming in to ask the same question. I have itching on the back of my head. Don't know if it's the hair coming in or the hair starting to fall out again. Hopefully it's new hair. I also had four rounds of injections and decided to stop. Not sure what to do at this point. It is taking so long to get my hair back. I have days that I don't care and others when I get all dressed up and then look at my head to decide "bandana or baseball cap?" It's too hot in Florida for the wig. Don't know how much longer I can hold on.

Ive found that itching , redness , and that ' my hair hurts ' feeling happens during shedding stages.
On the flip side , Ive found some itching during regrowth too !!

Figures ... it all makes sense that nothing makes sense with this alopecia stuff .

- Carry on :)

Lol I love this site. Things I think are abnormal turn out to be ok and I feel much better instantly. Normal-ness in an abnormal situation. its quite nice lol
Zeida, I always vote for bandanas. I used to wear a hat constantly, and I got sick of not being able to see "up" all the time hahah
=p
Try a nice silk one. That shouldn't be too hot, but quite breezy and smooth =)
I have been on a shopping spree lately with them. im going a little color crazy lol

Thanks Lindsay. I have up and down days. The last few days have been up days. I am now wearing the bandanas and I bought a really nice head scarf that looks good. My husband gave me the thumbs up and that is all I needed.

I have been totally bald since September 2010. I try to sahve every day or at least every other day. If I dont shave by the third day my scalp itches pretty bad and I run to shave without hesitation. Once I tried to see if hair would grow back some, but by day five the itching was unbearable. I left work to run home and shave on my lunch hour.
