Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Scalp And Severe Hairfall

It is regarding my granddaughter. She is twenty two. About 5 and 96 lbs. She said a few months ago she got pimple-like bumps on her scalp in patches. Then her hair started falling out in clumps in these patches. She also said her bowels are messed up She had lime green poop. I asked if she was constipated or had diarrhea. No to both. She can t gain weight. She has always been tiny. Any clues as to what might be going on? She has been seeing drs but no one seems to know what to do. She is getting married August 13 and doesn t want to be bald.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here the hair falling would be matter of concern because the way the condition being described here could be suggestive of fungal infection of hair, and it can be managed with anti-fungal local application but after only it is finally diagnosed, for other conditions like constipation or diarrhea it is nothing to worry, drinking more water is advisable, hope this information helps.
