hair loss

by prqueen145, Apr 28, 2008 07:38PM
i have been suffering from hairloss for 5 years the center of my scalp has been itching and hurtingi have suffered mild breakage and now it just wont grow past one inch. it itches and hurts. i went to the dermatologist when the hair loss first started and she gave me some antifungal cream and spray.it didnt work and my hair continues to fall out. I was on antibiotic therapy for something else and the itching subsided.well i am still losing my hair. what can i do ? i jst recently had some labwork done to see if i am having some hormone issues.

Hi,

What is your age?

There could be several causes for your symptoms - this is most probably - alopecia areata -

You could read about it at -

You would need to see your dermatologist for the definite diagnosis and the cause of symptoms in your case.

Let us know about how you are doing and what your doctor advises.

Regards.
