Im a 48 year old woman. My scalp is itchy & tingly & Ive noticed some hair loss along my part. I dont have dandruff & my scalp doesnt look red or inflamed & I dont see any bumps of any kind. I do have eczema in other areas (hips & thighs mostly). Could this be eczema? I wash my hair every two to three days....
Hi, The itchiness of scalp may be due to seborrhea dermatitis most probably. The lesions in thighs and buttocks may be related with this problem. Exact cause is not known. Yeast like satyriasis oval may be responsible. Stress, worries and anxiety might exacerbate the disease. The hair loss can occur in seborrhea dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. He might give antifungal like ketoconazole, antihistaminic like levocetirizine and steroids in tampering dose. And he may advise applying mild steroid lotion on scalp and cream on thigh and buttock lesions. And shampoo the scalp with ketoconazole containing shampoo. Avoid stress and worries. Have patience for the good result. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
