So years ago i had a deep journey into stopping my hair loss with no success and many side effects that include joint pain and a ichy scalp in the areas that were thinning. It was a male pattern baldness itch that i never had before starting these treatments. Well in the end i decided to stop all treatments but for some reason the itchy scalp never went away. Infact it would be worse depending on what i put on my skin or drunk/ate for some reason. Like a weird type of allergy that isn't an allergy. I felt incredibly broken for a long time with this issue.
Well somewhere along the way i managed to get it under control... i ain't sure how but the itch subsided and my hairloss slowed down for many months. Admittedly during that time i wasn't doing alot. I was having digestion issues which may have been taking up all of my immune systems attention. But as of recently the itch has come back and is really destroying my hairline. infact in about a 3 weeks my hair has thinned out a whole patch on my hairline moving back to mid-scalp that I'm on my way to having abit of a breakdown. I feel like i'm soon gonna have to shave my head because there is no hiding the damage. today has been just tingle tingle tingle.
This itch isn't something that can be fixed with a dandruff shampoo either. i have tried and they make it worse. it feels like either my immune system is creating the issue or my scalp nerves have become really sensitive. And this isn't something a doctor can help with as there is no sign of inflammation.
I have cousins on my mothers side with the same male pattern baldness who are older than me that will probably have more hair than i will by the end of this year if this itch doesn't calm down again. I am stunned by how much damage its doing. And i can't use hairsprays or brush my hair too much as they also make the tingling worse all day.
My biggest mistake was trying to stop my hairloss years ago. I'm now being punished for it. My body is punishing me. And its upsetting as there is a girl i like and i set out to self-improve myself, and this situation has just destroyed my confidence. i can't even look at myself without feeling sick. I feel ugly.
