Hi im new here, and i have a problem, can anyone help?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I dont know if this is the right group to ask this to, if it isnt,

and anyone knows where i can find the right group, id be much

appricative if you could let me know by emailing me at

mantigore@...

I have noticed a problem with my hair/scalp for the last 2 years. I

am 19 and a few years back i noticed my hair was thinning at the

front, which worried me, and i took it to be something todo with a

bottle of disinfectant type chemicals i emptied out to use as a hair

spray.

I stopped using that and visited a doctor later who said the way id

described how i cleaned it would make it nearly impossible for it to

have anything todo with it.

The problems continued and apon later visit to the local doctor they

said i had a slight case of eczema, ... the treatments the offered

seemed todo nothing, and i wanted to see a professional in the area i

was having problems. I did and they proscribed some medicated

shampoos which didnt seem todo anything, i had a blood test done

which came back fine, apon leaving that area i was asked to take

another blood test for something else, but i didnt in the end, and i

felt it pointless because that was dealing with my diet, and id never

ever had a reaction to anything id eaten ever, and i wasnt eating

anything abnormal or different.

Now its a few years on and the problem has just become a part of my

life which is very frustrating.

I used to and still get quite alot of dandruff, now its only worse

because my scalp sometimes gets red patches, and its mainly dry, and

very stiff and sore. I can mainly feel this when i frown, it feels

hot on the front half of my head, and looks slightly redened. It

looks and feels scaly, and this problem seems to have moved futher on

me, i have the same scaly irritating feeling eitherside of my nose,

and if i scratch it gets red. It does feel scaly and my whole scalp

feels like its under a few inches of dead skin or something, and it

really bothers me. I dont like to wash my hair often now, because

when i do, my hair gets very dry (which is annoying) but it gets

clean, but now matter what i do my scalp still feels dirty even when

my hairs clean. And i can relate to something i read on your website

about the scalp getting very dry after having a shower, this is true

of me , it feels worse after i shower then when i dont.

I dont know what todo anymore, i dont know why my hair has started to

thin at this age and why my scalp is giving me such trouble and why

its spreading to my face.

I can also relate to heat, when i get hot or do sports, my scalp

feels even worse, like fire that cant escape.

I really hope you can give me some advice because i am lost, i dont

live where you are to get an appointment as im abroad working for the

moment.

So i hope you could spare a min to give me some advice on how to get

rid of this problem. Is it genetic?

Will it die away naturally? Why have my hairs thinned around where

the irritating scaling started, and will they grow back if it goes?

I was diagnosed with serrohic eczema or dermatis eczema? I cant

remember the names, but both doctors and professionals said it was

hard to tell.

I also noticed a few years ago when it started, and so did doctors,

little hairs trying to regrow out of my front hairline where the

problem accured, i think theyve stopped now.

How can i get rid of this problem and can those hairs grow back?

Please help,

regards,

Jon J
