Why Is My Hairline Receding And My Scalp Itchy And Painful?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

Dr,

I had a very healthy scalp and hair till the age of 21. At around that age i started seeing dandruff. I also saw hairfall if

i did not take a head bath for 2 or 3 days. My scalp would become oily,i would get a very mild feeling of itching. I would

also feel pain when i comb or use fingers across my hair. The pain would be more if i did not take head bath for 2-3 days.I

stayed in this condition for about 8 years. Just before a year or two i have noticed my hairline receding, more at the

temples. There are very minute hairs at the hairline and temples area and the other thick hairs near the hairline seems like

they are thinning.But it is very slow.
