Itching/Shedding/Thinning - no help from treatments

[Ticken]

I'd suggest getting scalp biopsy so you know for certain what condition/s you are dealing with. It's not uncommon to have two or more hair loss conditions occurring at the same time (ie Androgenetic Alopecia, Seb Derm, autoimmune alopecia). Ideally, you would have a targeted treatment for each condition.

I lived with it for years, and out of nowhere, it disappeared completely. I am almost three months free of itchiness/pain/shedding and I have no idea what made it stop. Actually, I have no idea what caused it in the first place. Go figure.

Maybe u cut out something from your diet? Or took more vitamins or ate better? Or changed shampoo? It doesnt just disappear like that you must have changed something.

I wish derms would be able to assist. No one’s ever made that suggestion. They just tell you to try min and send you on your way.

Seriously, I really don't know. I thought it was milk but I'm drinking like a behemoth and it does nothing at all to my body (no acne, no itchiness). I didn't change my shampoo, haven't been on any vitamins and my diet always has been consistent. It just... disappeared.

You have to advocate for yourself with many derms because hair loss is looked at as a cosmetic issue rather than a health issue. If a scalp biopsy is a procedure you want, you can politely tell your derm you would like to rule out autoimmune types of alopecia with a scalp biopsy. If your derm refuses, ask them why they are refusing and tell them to write in your medical chart that they are refusing a biopsy. That's usually enough to motivate them. If for some reason they are still refusing, move on the the next derm.

Update. I’m on strut finasteride topical. It hasn’t made a dent in my itch though. I was hoping it would settle it down but nothing. Still itching and shedding. On 0.1 percent finasteride with biotin every other day.
If this doesn’t work I might jump to oral tabs every other day.

It amuses me how modern medicine isn't able to identify such a thing. All the derms and thricologists I've been told me my scalp was free of any sort of inflammation, and that the small flakes of dandruff that were there weren't enough to cause such shedding and pain/itchiness/tingling. I barely have it nowadays, but I can tell for sure that it was the main cause of my loss of density. What it was I have no idea, and it seems that no one will ever have.
