Ok, so I already have another thread going about looking for a diagnosis to go along with my mysterious symptoms which include hair loss. But I wanted to start a new thread just about the hair loss, and painful irritated scalp, because finding out the cause of the hair loss might take a little while, but in the meantime I'd like to know what I can do about it (general things to do, even though I don't know the cause), and also PLEASE can someone tell me what to do to relieve my painful scalp!
The irritated scalp has actually been going on for a while - several months (half a year? more?), but the hair loss I just noticed very recently. And right now my scalp feels way worse than it has in the past. I used to just get fleeting itchy or sore sensations that would quickly disappear. Now it feels so sore all day every day.
I first tried switching to an organic shampoo containing rosemary oil. Then I bought Psoriasin which helps with Psoriasis of the scalp as well as sebhoratic dermititis (sp?) and is supposed to be super-gentle, non-foaming and soothing for the scalp. No help. I just bought Nizoral which is supposed to sooth the scalp and help with hair loss, but (after one time using it) I don't feel soothed at all (if anything I feel more irritated).
If you have any good remedies for my painful scalp please let me know! Should I be washing less often? Going "no poo"? Keep with the Nizoral and eventually it will start working? HELP!!!
