Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 From: Kerrianne Ronan She is almost five. She has what looks like very bad dandruff and the one spot where her hair is coming out is the spot she showed me that she scratches the most she scratches very vigorously. When she scratches her hair comes out on her hand. I guess being a foster child she is under alot of stress. ~~~ Hi! I had/have seborrheic dermatitis that itched like crazy and some of my hair fell out....thought for sure I was going to go bald! Plus I had nasty dandruff. Normally I never have these symptoms. It's like cradle cap. I use a dandruff shampoo with zinc in it, and when it itches intensely use (a prescription) betamethazone lotion on those spots. My hair is growing back in again. It also can be from stress. There sure are number of causes for itching and bald spots! Guess the only way to find out for sure, and find some relief for her is to see a doctor.

I would have to use some kind of shampoo, as I use hair spray - but I only wash my hair once or twice a week as well. Love Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
