sore
Ive always had a tender scalp on and off but about 2 years ago I started noticing my hair was thinning where my scalp was sore primarily. Its been thinning at the top and around the temples. The thinning progressed rather quickly ive had to xut my hair shorter to make it blend. Prior to the thinning my hair would shed these grey flakes like dandruff especially if I was sweating or just finished playing sports.
I have very itchy scalp...it's very sore when I touch it and when I scratch it....it itches so bad that I can't help but to scratch My head. I try to scratch as soft as I can but it very tender. The itching and soreness is only in the middle of my head . The crown area..my hair is thinning a little in that area and it kind of feel a little scaby; but I can't really tell.
I am a 24 year old female. Black African American.
I don't take no medication.
My head has not been too bad until now. In the last two months my head is sore tender itchy and painful on the top. My hair is getting thinner and thinner week by week. I have been to the doctors who sent me for a blood test - all ok. He gave me a prescription for betnovate liquid to put on my scalp. The first week and a half it did help with the redness but now I'm getting itchy again and beginning to get sore.
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!

Then my eyebrows started thinning the same way my hair did. Now i can visibly see hair falling out all over my scalp but the thing that worries me the most is the hair falling from my eyebrows. My scalp flakes a lot and it always produces these little hard keratinized bulbs when the hair falls our.Other symptoms include eyelash fall, styes on my eyes, small pimples on my face, changes in my skin, itchy forehad, bleeding scalp, and beaus lines on my nails, along with minor pitting.
Hi,
Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day and this amount of hair loss should not cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair. Hair thinning and loss could be due to increased rate of shedding compared to the rate of regrowth. This could be due to: hormonal changes, poor nutrition, diseases, certain medications, infections and stress.
Hi, I'm only 15 and Ive noticed some red dots on my scalp and my hair appears to be thinning. This started a few months ago, and most if not all of my family has hair. What can I do to stop hair thinning? Please help.
I am a 24 year old woman who has long, thick brown hair. People always tell me how beautiful my hair is and comment on how silky, shiny, and thick it is. All my life I've been able to run my hands through it! About two months ago, the texture of my hair has changed and is more coarse like and is falling out. Now, when I run my hands through my hair, at least 3 to 10 hairs will come out.
She recently (2 weeks ago) started taking a low dose of accutane every other day and noticed her face and scalp began to itch and flake. She is now concerned about her hair thinning and even being lost, claiming that it has at least begun to thin.
My question: Is there a strong correlation between hair thinning/loss with accutane patients? Should she be concerned about permanent hair loss? If her hair is thinning, is this permanent as well or temporary?
I used gentle Aveeno volumizing shampoo, kept my hair cut short (less weight=thinning less obvious), took Biotin supplement daily (promotes healthy hair and nails) and invested in a large selection of hats. The hats were perfect at masking the thinning and bald spots and also essential sun-protection for my exposed scalp. If you prefer scarves there are YouTube videos on different ways to wear them. Remember, this is temporary, and minor relative to your life.
s not as long now, due to the thinning, and I still use the products. But, I definitely have very dry hair and notice some build up on my scalp that sometimes gets in my nails if I scratch it. Apparently this is called sebum and may be blocking my pores and causing my hair loss?
My question is, how do I remove this build up and keep my scalp where it needs to be in terms of producing natural oils?
Are there certain home remedies I can do? Certain shampoos and conditioners?
Hair loss is a common symptom of hypothyroidism. Sometimes, it's one of the first symptoms to go away when starting med, sometimes, it's the last. I'd guess that it's the Armour that has stopped the hair loss.
BTW - I've read that spirulina should not be used with thyroid medication.
When I apply Toppik fibers on my scalp, it usually just conceals the thinning areas with a light layer. However, near my part at the front of my head, the Toppik always clumps up directly on the scalp. At first it didn't bother me because it covers up the thinning area, but now I'm worried that hair can't grow through the fibers.
within a month i was so bad with the lose of hair and tired, the shakes,no energy and my heart felt like it was coming out of my chest everytime i walked a few distants or went up stairs that i went to another doctor and he imm. did blood work and asked me about family history. i'm adopted so i don't know anything. My labs came back and he said i was extremely HYPER...i didn't even know what a thyroid was.....so he sent me to a specialist.....which was comfirmed..
I have been experiencing tender spot on top right size of my head for the last 3 or 4 years. The tender spot felt pain to touch and I also noticed thinning hair on this sore spot. Initially I just ignored it and also found that massaging the spot would reduce the pain. I am 48 years old female, health wise I am good, no medical problem, except for I experience anxiety on an off for which I have to take anxiety medication regularly.
m currently 18 years old and my hair used to be really thick, especially when I was 14 and 15 years old. When I was 16 my hair started thinning a bit and then a year later (when I was 17) my hair started thinning a lot more on the top of my head, to the point where you could easily see through my scalp. My hair is so thin that I'm unable to comb my hair up, I always have to wear it down. I don't know what I can do, I'm most likely going to lose my hair.
Dear,
I have had scalp problems for a couple of years now which in my opinion caused hair loss. I have acne & bumps all over my scalp with different sizes, they dissappear and appear again. My family members tells me that my scalp somehow looks red. I have difficulties to exercise because when I sweat my head itches a lot. I have been to several dermatologists who prescribed roacutane of 10mg which I took for one year, but didn't really help instead I got some liver problems.
