Burning Sensation In Scalp, Blisters And Loss Of Hair Fall. History Endometriosis. How Do I Stop My Hair Fall?

Hi, I have been having problems with what I believe to be scalp neuritis. I have burning sensations in my scalp, my scalp turns red and looks like a sun burn, tingling sensations, sometimes my scalp gets lumpy, sometimes I get small like blisters in my scalp, my hair is falling out and sometimes I get migraines. I am 55 years old, I weigh 160lbs, I am 5 6 and have never had any serious medical problems other than endometriosis when I was in my 20 s. I have started eating more vegetables and fruits and taking lots of vitamin B . It is not as bad as it was. What can I do to stop my hair from falling out?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed photodermatitis.

Your description even looks somewhat similar to DLE.

Please get your blood ANA profile checked.

Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
