I understand that you have been under a lot of stress lately. This I believe could have aggravated your condition.
A differential for your case is a seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition associated with a yeast infection. It presents as a yellow to whitish scales on the scalp. It may also affect other areas like the chest and the face. It has been shown that stress and environmental factors such as the weather have been associated with seborrheic dermatitis. I suggest that you have this assessed by your dermatologist. There is no definite medical treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. Frequent and vigorous shampooing appears to be the mainstay of therapy for the dermatitis. Medicated shampoos are available depending on the severity of the condition. Seborrheic dermatitis has also been associated with diffuse hair loss which may explain your case.
I hope you are better now. You need a lot of rest .Maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay positive. Stress may not only manifest with skin and scalp conditions such as a dermatitis.It may also present in other ways such as headaches and muscle pains. So try to give yourself time to heal and rest. Your body needs it too.
