I agree with you that I do not like the suggestion that this is seborrheic dermatitis. Speak with her pediatrician and get an another referral for a second opinion.

Saw palmetto is not FDA approved, as it is a supplement. If your trichologist said it was FDA approved, she’s mistaken. It has known effects on reducing hair loss in some men, but it is inconsistent and it will not help seborrhea. On the other hand, minoxidil will aggravate seborrhoeic dermatitis. Option-wise, Propecia is the […]
This sounds like a form of seborrheic dermatitis or possibly psoriasis, though I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “peeling”. Go back to your doctor and ask him/her about these conditions. Generally speaking (without reference to your “peeling”) either of these conditions should not cause hair loss unless you picked the skin and pulled […]
The hair from one time hair loss should grow back, but you need to know why your seborrhea is so severe. Maybe you have psoriasis, which looks like seborrhea, but is often much worse. Check with your doctor.
I think this question is better asked to a dermatologist. I have no experience with cytostatic agents as they are used for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
The less the dose of Rogaine (minoxidil) and the less frequently you apply it, the less effective it is. In other words, you might not maintain all of the benefits you’ve seen from the Rogaine Foam if you cut back on its use. Cut pills of Proscar (1mg or 1.25mg) and Propecia are essentially no […]
Your dermatologist is correct in stating male pattern baldness (MPB) is not associated with pain. It seems you have some sort of inflammation on your scalp and I would follow up with your dermatologist to treat the underlying problem. You may have some hair loss and have seborrheic dermatitis (SD) at the same time, though […]
You need to see a dermatologist soon. Several conditions could be causing your hair loss. Having extensive dandruff and scalp itching is a sign of inflammation of the scalp and seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory disease that can involve scalp skin and other areas. Although seborrheic dermatitis does not generally cause hair loss, […]
What are you asking me? It seems you already know the answer, by the way you posed the question. If T-Gel works for you, great! If you don’t have an allergic reaction, even better! If you are losing hair, you should see a doctor for a diagnosis including a miniaturization study. If you have psoriasis, […]
The sun nor a tan should impact hair loss directly in the short term, but long term exposure to the sun can damage the skin to the depth of the bottom of the hair follicle. You need to be evaluated by a good doctor. Seborrhoeic dermatitis does not cause hair loss. I’ve discussed eyebrow hair […]
These are all different issues and you are trying to make sense of it by linking it all to hair loss. If you have a high progesterone level it may just be a coincidental finding. It depends on what other physical problems you are having or how much higher than it normally is to be […]
Steroids cause hair loss. I personally do not recommend daily or twice daily use of steroids for seborrheic dermatitis. Occasional use one or two treatments a week may not impact hair loss but it should be used sparingly.
There is no direct connection between dying your hair and losing hair unless you are using dyes that are dangerous and out of the mainstream of commercial products and their proper application. Instructions on the commercial dyes suggest that you test your skin against the dye to anticipate any skin reaction or allergies. I have […]
I doubt that the shampoo causes your hair loss, but the underlying factors that make people use the shampoo may do that. Head and Shoulders shampoo is used for seborrheic dermatitis, which is an inflammatory disorder of the skin. This condition can possibly initiate hair loss or accelerate the loss due to the other causes.
Very high doses of vitamin A could cause hair loss. Remember that this is for the very high doses and regular doses that are necessary for our daily maintenance should not affect the hair growth/loss. I don’t think your vitamins have been responsible for seborrheic dermatitis and I don’t think usual doses of vitamins in […]
