So , I am a14 year old teenage girl and recently the skin and hair of my sideburns have bin falling off. I randomly felt my sideburns and scratched the area a little and my skin started coming of in small flakes (as if its dandruff )and now the skin is irritated ,it burns when i try to move the small hair's aside to have a better look .And still I can't really see it, for a while the skin looked bumpy but I guess it was an illusion .It's odd, and i'm afraid it can spread to the rest of my head causing me to loose hair just like the sideburns ( I have thin hair so it's even worse .) Could it be because of the shampoo I use ?I asked one of my close friends and she suggested I try using some kind of cream for rashes.(It worked for her)I am aware that there are many possibilities that it could make it worse therefore should I try it?
I need answers /advise quick! What do you possibly think it is ? And how can it be treated ? I need help from someone who is an expert or had similar experience in the past .
