So, to put it straight - my hair falls out constantly, my scalp itches and I get mixed messages from research and derms!
So, I read a lot on treatments causing this, which I get - finasteride/rogaine, itch - who knows, maybe regrowth. Either way we all know there can be massive sheds and itch as a result of this.
At this point I'm on nothing! But my head started itching about 3 years ago and hasn't stopped. It sheds mostly on the areas that people bald from.
Now my thing is all the derm I've seen said it is psychological due to stress / mental illness / ocd etc.
This seems like a cheap answer to me.
Now, it is weird to think this is what balding is like? Most of the people I know who are bald didn't have constant itch, massive shed and wake up bald in 4 years time.
So what the f is going on here?
I've done all the formal treatments to no avail.
My hair still looks fantastic despite all the shedding - but I have to do a lot of cosmetic stuff to get it to appear full.
Any experience with this anyone?
