Seborrheic Dermatitis and Artificial Hair
I am female and have had seborrheic dermatitis for several years and have consistently scratched at it over several years causing gradual hair loss that I have recently noticed, which has led me to stop scratching despite the itching. Is it possible to regrow my hair after such an extended period of time? If not, I was wondering if you might know the cost of artificial hair surgeries, NOT hair transplants.
Scratching your hair can cause Traction Alopecia, which sounds like the diagnosis. Wait out a period of 6-12 months without scratching and see if it returns.
With regard to the artificial hair, the process has been banned in many countries (it is not FDA approved and is known to cause many problems). First, you would have to find a country that lets the product be used at all, then finding a doctor is the second problem, but worse is that many of the people who get artificial hair, get infections in the scalp so the cost must include the costs to control infection and replace the rejected hair (almost a daily process). I do not have information on costs, however.
