My daughter has been loosing her hair, and it has gotten quite bad recently. She has bald spots on the top of her head and itching and what she calls dandruff. When she was approx 12 yrs old this started with three small spots on top of her head. The derm. gave her an array of creams any ointments, which did nothing. They & said she was positive (I have Lupus SLE). Her father did not believe this and she never returned. The spots stayed approx the size of your finger print with minimal amt of hair for years. Now she is 25 and she is thinning more and mor every day & spots are getting worse. Gone to 3 Derm. and no one can find a cause. Tested negative for Lupus in blood test
Hi there.1. By your description, your daughter might have Tina wapitis.2. it's a fungal infection of scalp.3.symptoms would be itching, hair fall, bald areas and scaling in the affected areas.4. She requires full course of oral greseofulvin for 30 days.5. don't apply any sort of hair oil and don't share her combs and never use caps to hide the scalp.don't worry this can be cured and once infection gets cured automatically hair regrows in the bald areas.
