Jeremy K said:In my experience, yes in regards to it indicating hair loss. It is from inflammation, and when I had my biggest bout of shedding from April-June '08 where I lost quite a bit of density, my temples itched pretty badly along with my crown, and at times my scalp even ached pretty badly. Once I found out what was going on and did something about it, the itching went away and my hairloss went back to it's slow, but steady rate.
even without using product? i also \generally dont scratch the itch.TheGrayMan2001 said:Not necessarily. I do notice some sort of correlation with itchy head and hair loss--it often itches in that area, and then loose, miniaturized hairs fall out (usually hairline and all on top). When I was on Finasteride this stopped completely. It reappeared when I took a break from it.
But most guys losing hair don't see this, so don't put any stock in it being a reliable indicator of anything.
