My scalp is very dry. I'm having excessive hair loss. Can dry scalp cause hair loss? I have a prescription shampoo for dry scalp which directs my to use twice a week. But it seems when I wash my hair even more loss occurs.
Firstly, the cause for your dry scalp has to be evaluated. The climate, stress, poor diet deficient from minerals and vitamins, hormonal imbalance , chemicals, allergies may lead
.Do you have any other underlying illnesses? Any intake of medications?
A consult with an internist may be able to guide you. One has to rule out alopecia areata, hair loss due to mechanical causes ( like frequent styling) and even iron deficiency. Iron levels and thyroid hormone levels need to be assessed. Deficient iron,Vit B complex and zinc may lead
LIKE ITS SPOILED, I ALSO LOSE ALOT OF HAIR WHEN I WASH MY HAIR&BRUSH IT. I WASH MY HAIR EVERYOTHER DAY CAUSE I'M AFRAID I WILL GO BALD. ALSO SOMETIMES I HAVE SORED ON MY HEAD
. I TRY NOT TO PICK ON THEM CAUSE THEY BLEED AND REALY HURT. I'VE TRYED DIFFENT MEDICATED SHAMPOOS& I PUT OLIVE OIL ON MY SCALP BEFORE I WASH IT. I DON'T NO WHAT ELSE TO DO, IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP BEFORE I SHAVE MY HEAD!!!
