I am a female in my mid 30 s that has been losing my hair since last summer. I have been to dermatologists and no one has an answer. My scalp is itchy. burning, and sometimes flakey and red. Cortisone shots are the only thing that helps with the scalp problem and when the scalp isn t bothering me, it seems like less hair is falling out (it doesn t stop, just less). What can I do to stop this. I have lost over half of my hair and it was already fine and thin to begin with.
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis, which secondarily leads to hairball and thus It's important to treat it first hand. I would recommend you a short course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor.  Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid twice a week. Take antihistamines as required for itching. Avoid excessive use of hair oil. As for the hairball, start oral supplements containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals (Collinear new) once a day for at least 3 months. Hope this will take care of your query. Thank you
