dandruff

I have symptoms indicative of both of these- the small white flakes and the larger sticky ones. How do I know which one of these conditions I have?

I have small white flakes in my hair, but I also have these big greasy kind of translucent flakes. The bigger flakes seem to peel directly off my scaIp. I don't know what the cause is- is it just dandruff, dermatitis, or could it be from minoxidil foam? Are there different treatments for each...

I'm wondering if this could possibly be the cause of my hair loss. I've looked it up and have gotten different results; some sites say dandruff only causes hair loss if you scratch, other sites say it can lead to hair loss regardless so I'm not sure what to believe. The reason I ask is because...

I've been losing hair for a while. I have a very dry and oily scalp, but my dermatologist said she doesn't think it's a scalp condition. My blood work came back with increased testosterone, so she thinks it might be that. I've been taking birth control, but so far no changes. I've also been...

Hi I am 19 years old and have lost around 50% of hair on the top of my head in the past 10 months. It has started to become noticeable at the front. I don't have male pattern baldness and confirmed with my GP as my hairline has not receded or followed the norwood scale. From August 2015 to April 2016 I lost...

Ok, so I just turned 16 last week, and I've been losing my hair ever since October or November of 2015. I always use to have a thick head of hair, i mean seriously, my hairline hadn't even receded much. And my hairline still hasn't receded much, but overall my hair is getting much thinner, and I...

19 y/o male with hair shedding mostly in front. Also have very sensitive skin/itchy scalp/super susceptible to dandruff. My hairdresser says the reason why I'm losing so many hairs is because my follicles are clogged from sebum, dead skin, and other stuff on the scalp. Is this a legitimate...

Here we go. My story begins in 2015, 18 years old, senior year of high school. I'd grown my hair out, and I had noticed it starting to shed. I was a little concerned about balding, since my dad and both grandpas are/were bald from a relatively early age (mid-late 20's). Didn't think much of it...

Hi, I am a male, 23 year old lad... I would like to share my symptoms and experiences on hair fall.... Experiencing hair fall since i was 17, I used to have thick hair all over my head and then my hair from sides started to recede and fall... then it started to fall from all over my head...

I am 18 years old. For a good 8 months I grew my hair (it used to grow fast) and I used to gel my hair all back. Like excessive amounts of gel. I read that gel can cause hair loss so I cut my hair to about finger thickness. I had ALOT of dandruff and when I shower I noticed I lost a lot of hair...

I use minoxidil on my hairline, and it might be because I only wash my hair every 3 days, but where I use the minoxidil will be almost wet (even after the minoxidil dries for more than 4 hours), and it is really easy to scratch a ton of skin off it to the point where it fills my nails after a few scratches...

Here's my profile pic closer to original resolution. So anyways, my sob story... Age: 25 Hairloss patter: receding Picture: A few months out of date, a tiny bit worse now. Current loss: norwood 2.7-.28 Alright so I had long hair for a few years in my early twenties. The ladies thought it...

Hi everyone First many thanks for a wonderful place. I’ve been enlightened by many of the discussions and gotten a better understanding of hair loss and the drugs related to those. I’ve been lurking this place for months and been on finasterid for about 350 days now…though the first 40...
