What Causes Sores Along The Hair Line?

Hello, I started having sores around my hairline a couple of months ago then notice a harden or tight feeling on my scalp then I woke one morning and it looked like my eyebrows had disappeared. I have also noticed a waxy feeling on my skin and it actually feels like there is hair stuck to my face, neck ears. Know I do not think that I am crazy even though it sounds like that. I did have to get my hair cut today because it felt sticky and began knotting up. Please help!

hello, According to the given history it is more like you are having sebboroheic dermatitis. but it is better to get your blood tests done to exclude any thyroid hormone deficiency or any connective tissue disorder. for that full blood count, ESR, TSH and T4 levels. other tests to exclude connective tissue disorders. you can use a shampoo with coal tar, ketoconazole ,selenium , or salicylic acid in it. any way you have to bathe daily using this shampoo for the more results. any way you have to show your family doctor to grade the severity . when you have severe dermatitis.we usually proscribe a shampoo with more selenium and corticosteroid also. Hope this helps. Thanks.
