Agressive flaking skin ruined my whole week

[IBM]

Still my male pattern baldness isnt so ominous as my seb. dermatitis. Today i got an haircut. I suspected that i got attached dandruff in my middle-left-top of my head. During the haircut the barber took a large flaking skin with hair attached from my head. The worse was to come.

When i got home i went to mirror to see how bad it was in that zone. It was horrible. Loads of hair was literally glued to my scalp full of flaking skin. And i just five flaking skins with hair attached. Two of them were 1 cm of diameter full of hair. Got dammit. Tons of hair to the sink, i feel like i have something grow in that area and it's not over.

I decided to apply an agressive shampoo (Alpha-Cade) EOD and Nizoral in the other days. Sure i'll lose tons of hair with this regimen but i hope i'll regaine in five or six months.

It sucks... it really sucks...

Yes, it sucks.
I don't have flaky skin, but I have itchness and some kind of dermatitis that makes my scalp always red and hurt.
I think it's preventing my hair from growing back. I tried lots of shampoos like keto, piroctone olamine, but nothings seems to cure it.

Dermatitis is worse than male pattern baldness .

5 flaking skins? Wow.

Impressive... Can anyone do better? Five cents for that. Come on this is fun.

I've been experiencing something similar the last 4-5 months, it started when i switched to a minoxidil with tretinoine, which caused irritation and burning on my scalp, after 2-3 weeks i started using it only once per day, and it got somewhat better, but after i was having a shower, the skin was peeling these white-yellowish crusts that i was scratching them out, and always had 2-3 hairs attached. I gave my scalp a break for a week and i switched to dr lee's minoxidil 5% (prod no. 500) and i'm using it twice a day for the last 10 days. It's already better but i've lost some of the gains i had from use of minoxidil for 2 yrs. Some of my shedding could be because i started finasteride 5 months ago. Time will tell...

Do you guys know if hairs that were lost due to irritation/dermatitis will come back?

I think they will come back. I deal with this problem seven years. If it was irreversable than i would be a patchy nw6.
