Re: Scalp Fungus and Hair loss

[Guest guest]

Any advice here to me is better than any doctor so thanks!! So far,

I've had to figure out everything myself and educate the so called

doctors. I've always stayed away from doctors all my life. My line

is " If it's not broke, don't fix it " you go to them and they will keep

trying to fix anything with Medication you DON'T NEED. Rhonda

I agree that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. There are some

problems that can only be found through lab tests. I had my rounds

with doctors myself so I know what you mean. But with the hair loss,

this could be a sign of a number of serious conditions that only lab

tests can find. This is why I have always felt a physician was

needed to rule out anything serious.

A friend of mine was hospitalized about a month ago as a result of an

infection he got from a spider bite. One of the first signs was the

scalp where the infection spread. Now that he is cured, thanks to

doctors, but he is dealing with removing the crust and hair loss

where some of the infection had been. This was cured through

intravenous antibiotics. He would have died had he not gotten medical

help when he did. He went to the doctor and was told it was the flu.

A week later he went to the emergency room half dead. Thankfully, he

was admitted and got proper medical care. When he was well, he asked

me what to do about the flaking and crust. Being it is cured; all he

would need now is a regular shampoo and condition with the use of a

shampoo brush to loosen the dead crust to remove.

I have seen babies whose parents never bother to remove the cradle

cap who had very little hair. Once the cradle cap was removed, the

baby would sprout hair a week later! I know parents are afraid to

mess around the soft spot but all one needs to do is keep a little

oil on the cradle cape to keep it loose.

If the dandruff, fungus, crust, cradle cap or what even it may be is

not removed, one will stand a huge chance of hair loss. This also

stinks when it gets really built up.

I know one thing for sure, I will not touch a head that has a

questionable condition until they seek medical advise and get a

proper dignosis. Infection control is number one for myself and

other clients, in the hair grooming business. No one would want to

sit in a chair after someone with lice. Same should go with what

appears to be a bad case of dandruff or any scalp issue... some of

the conditions of a scalp are just as contagious as head lice.

In last two years between my ENT and Neuro I have had tons of blood

test. Only the MMP test came back 1112 which is high and that was

done last March. I forgot to ask for another last visit with ENT in

October last year to see if higher or lower. I may ask if my neuro

will do the test next visit b/c ENT is 2hrs away. Rhonda
