itchy, tingly feeling scalp and extreme shedding

Wait 5 sec.

i have been having this itchy, tingly feeling in my scalp that feels like something is crawling on it accompanied by lots of hair falling out, since at least the beginning of the year. my dermatologist has not been able to figure out why this is happening. she told me i don’t have seborrheic dermatitis and that my scalp looks normal and i do not have any noticeable flakes, maybe mild fine dry flaking if i scratch too deep. also, no medicated shampoo seems to work for the itching, if anything it makes it worse. my dermatologist had be do blood tests, and they came back showing that i had low b12 and d levels so she had me take those supplements. but that was a month ago and i’ve had no improvement. i’ve been very self conscious and depressed because of this, i have spent hours googling about this and i have no idea what to do. i feel like it’s too late for me to take minoxidil, i hesitated to take it earlier and even though i should take it now, i would have a dread shed and i can’t afford to lose even more hair. it makes me wonder if anyone else has this problem, because i feel very alone. i feel disgusting and depressed, i’m a 22 year old female and i shouldn’t be going bald   submitted by   /u/Important-Smoke-1657 [link]   [comments]
