itchy scalp hair growth

However, it should at least help to stop your scalp itching, and you may even experience an increase in hair growth? You can buy it in Wal-Mart and many other stores. Also, in Canada you can purchase a stronger version without a prescription which is not sold in the U.S. http://www.dermadoctor.com/article_Nizoral-Shampoo-for-Hair-Loss_198.

All my life I've been told that I have thick hair. I'm 21, Asian, male; for the past few years I've been noticing that I have thinner hair on the right side of my scalp. When I run my hand gently through my hair I notice that hair falls out WAY easier than the left side of my head. I'm not shedding clumps of hair, it's just my right side of the scalp sheds more in comparison to the left. Is this something normal? I've been stressing about this a lot!

I have had the same problem!! After a couple years of itchy scalp I had a big bout of hair loss it's didn't have patches but thinned out a LOT, then it stopped, I switched back to Pantene because it gave it more support and started biotin for hair growth ... now I am having all over itchy skin!! Going crazy btw... look into over growth of yeast!! Try a good digestive cleanse and see a naturopath Dr... my boss swears by the "eat right for your blood type" diet.. check it out!!

Hi, I had been taking Doxycycline for 4 months to treat Blepharitis (an eye condition). I noticed the same as you, itchy scalp and dramatic hair loss. Worst of all I suffered extreme oesophageal injury including and ulceration and became incredibly unwell. I stopped taking Doxycycline 1 week ago now and am really hoping that my hair will stop falling out in clumps now and that it will regrow.

Recently I have been experiencing a burning and faint itching sensation on my scalp line. I have lost some hair and new hair growth comes in with a crinkly dry texture. My scalp looks healthy and I wash and condition my hair daily. Any ideas.

I'm losing hair too. Not in clumps but I clog the drain once a week from my hair loss. And all my friends said their hair was so full and healthy during pregnancy and after lost some. I get a ball of hair during evey wash and its not normal for me also my scalp itches like crazy and I don't have bugs lol o had my husband check lol!

Hi everyone! I have had a small growth on my scalp for years, it never bothered me too much but I always wondered what caused it. It's not noticeable because my hair covers it, it's never itched and I can brush over it. I do have to be careful where I part my hair though and I'm sure it's getting bigger. I asked my GP about it and he said it is a wart, and I could get it taken off easily but it would leave a small bald patch so I may be better off to leave it alone.

The symptoms of Ringworm or Tinea Capitis include a dry itchy scalp, scaling, crusting, inflamed nodules, hair loss and tender enlarged lymph nodes on the neck. Get it evaluated from a trichologist to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

My dermatologist prescribed steroids and the rash went down, but the itchy scalp and flaking and hair loss are still going on - three weeks later. I want to know if this is hormonal and stress-related (my job is requiring me to work 12-hour days and is a stressful PR position AND I work a job on the weekends because my PR job doesnt pay what I owe in student loans) - this on top of having to deal with becoming pregnant (unplanned) and then losing that pregnancy.

Hundreds of people have blogged and complained about how the acne drug; Doryx, is linked to losing huge amounts of hair on the scalp. I'm experiencing the same problem. had very thick coarse and pretty hair. Now it's becoming thin stringy and nappy. I am freaking out big time and really sad. I'm 22 years old and my dermatologist has had me on this drug for a couple years and at first this did not happen, now it comes out in clumps and I shed everywhere.

Hi Barb, I'm so sorry you have had limited hair regrowth following chemo--but very happy to hear that you are 6 years out from your course of chemo!! As you probably realize from the old thread referenced at the bottom of your post, hair after chemo may be thinner, a different color or texture, may be changed from curly to straight or from straight to curly, or, unfortunately, in some cases, may not grow back at all.

Try using t gel by neutrogena, that does sound like psorosis. T gel is very helpful, and it's not expensive I use it because I get acne on my scalp from using hair spray And it works wonders even though it is made for psorosis. It's main ingredient is coal tar so it doesn't smell pleasant but it's worth a try. Also if you had lice you'd see it crawling.

I put my hair half up half down (mine is long) so I get it on my lower scalp (above my neck, on scalp behind my ears etc) and crown/top of my head. You really dont need it on your hair, just scalp so splitting my hair works best. Only wash it every two days. Dr can prescribe clobetasol for itchy spots if it gets worse. Water, sunshine and keeping stress low also helps a lot:) I hardly have issues anymore.

Hi, yes I am only 5 weeks and have really dry itchy scalp which is a first for me, but it is normal due to the hormonal change.

My head itches and has kind of a tingly feeling like I can feel each hair follicle falling out. My hair is very thin and wispy. A women at my job asked me why my hair was standing straigth up. You know I hadn't even noticed it. I guess I have new growth or broken off hair that is only an inch or two long and it wants to stand up. I went into the bathroom put water on it to lay it down (mistake) LOL. Basically, my feelings were hurt and I was very sad for awhile but got over it.

I also have a regularly itchy and dry scalp with white or yellow flakes everywhere. I lose a lot of hair during combing and when washing it so have reduced to washing my hair only a couple of times a week or at the most 3 times. Also I often find 'scabs' on my scalp which itch like crazy till I pick them off (gross, I know!) and there are even some small 'bloody' bits in places. My hair strands always have something whitish-clear stuck to them like glue (oil?).

ive been dealing with hair loss for quite some time now but ive giving myself scalp messages n it seems to be working real well they are realy short right now and little bit thinner than the other hairs is there something i can do to make them grow faster?

t have scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin; just itchy scalp and some pimples. I also have had no hair loss; if only I could on my legs and underarms, ha ha. That's why I asked if it could be related to rosacea. Has anyone every heard of rosacea spreading to the scalp; I know it can affect your eyes.

It doesn’t grow but 1/4 inch a month. I use a variety of hair growth oils every other day, and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get that tingly sensation in my scalp that hundreds of reviewers of these oils are making claims of getting; along with claims of extreme hair growth. Does this mean I am not getting enough blood circulation to my scalp or something? Also, my hair at the ends is real thin. So tell me, why do I never have a tingly scalp, no matter what I put on it?

15 weeks and 5 days and my scalp has been super itchy here lately as well as parts of my face and my forehead. Sometimes others parts of my body will itch but not all the time. What could be going on? I don't see the doctor again until Tuesday of next week.

Hi i am a 26 yr old male. i have a moderately itchy scalp that gets oily by the end of the day & have occasional acne on the scalp. also i have significant hair loss due to it.Recently, i have noticed more frequent occurrence of acne on my face & rarely on my chest & back. i wash my hair everyday with a mild shampoo to remove the oiliness. it just doesn't seem to help. i somehow feel the itchy scalp, acne & facial acne are related.

ll do wonders for your hair too. Before I cut my hair, it was always very healthy for mid thigh length hair and I did that once every few weeks. Just shampoo it out like normal in the shower. Also, wash your hair everyday, or every other day. If I go too long like 3-4 days with out washing my hair, i get a bit itchy too. But when I workout regularly, I wash daily since I workout hard and sweat.

Thanks for the info! I have tried some of the shampoos with salicylic acid or coal tar - all it did was make my scalp worse- sort of firery sore and super itchy. that's why I think its dry scalp and not dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis - the symptoms just don't fit. my hair and scalp are dry, not greasy - even if i go 3 days between shampoos my hair is not greasy. the flakes are small and white and not oily.

Try asking your doctor to order a blood test to check thyroid function. Itchy scalp, hair loss and rashes often go along with hypothroid conditions.
