I have itchy scalp just on the back of my head in a band and very steady hair loss for 3-4 month....I am starting to get pretty worried that my hair will be really really thin and I will have to start to wear a wig. I am caucasian, from eastern europe and no one in my family has this. j

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss and severe itchiness on the scalp, Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection , covering head with cap and hormonal changes. It could be due to stress. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray . Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with FUE technique . Take Indian goose berry powder ( half spoon ) with water once a day and use almond oil

Hope your concern has been resolved.
