Seborrheic Dermatitis in Women

I had curly very thick hair all my 56 years. now out of the blue i got seborrheic and it is in my scalp. my hair is falling out. I’m going to the dr. but not much you could do but creams and hard shampoo. it’s not getting better. what can I do? it has been over five weeks. The dr. said this is something I have to live with. I’m not upset. I’m very blessed then other people. thank you if you can give me some feedback. God Bless

Please read the many entries on this blog for female hair loss. First and foremost, you need to have yourself and your health checked out. There are many diseases that can cause hair loss in women and you have to make sure that you do not have one of them. Women, like many men, can get genetic hair loss. In women, it usually is diffuse and not in one of the typical patterns that men show. Women generally thin out, but do not get bald. Some develop a pattern of thinning that can be treated more successfully with Minoxidil and possibly even hair transplants under certain conditions. First, get your self checked out medically and then find a good dermatologist or hair expert physician.
