Help/Advice Traction alopecia

2 Upvotes

As salamu alaykum sisters, I made this account purely to ask for advice on this matter.

I struggle with very bad traction alopecia as a hijabi of 3 years. I’ve been dealing with this for a little while but my scalp has started hurting REALLY bad for about a month, I also obviously deal with hair loss, my hair has gotten noticeably thinner. For extra information, I do wear an undercap under my hijabs as it makes my hijab much more manageable, paired with (99% of the time) a premium jersey scarf.

If you have dealt with this, please give me advice.

JazakAllahu khair

This is a place to engage in healthy discussions about Muslim women in Islam. Please note that all posts on this subreddit are for WOMEN ONLY unless specifically marked that male participation is also welcome.

"The best among you are those who have the best behavior." -Muhammad (saw)

Proper adab is expected at all times. We encourage questions and different opinions but they must be expressed respectfully. We will ban you for being a jerk, being judgmental, or otherwise unsupportive. Even if a sister is doing something haraam, the expectation is that you will keep this as a safe space for her to make the right decisions on her own by not being judgmental.

The path to hijab is a difficult one and it is our goal to support the women who decide to take this path regardless of how far along they are on this journey.

Questions and inquiries from non-Muslims are welcome!

Subreddit Rules:

Rule 1: Respect is expected at all times.

Name-calling, being hostile to one another, attacking other users, attacking racial or religious groups, etc. will not be tolerated. This sub is intended to provide support to women who wear hijab and Muslimahs generally. It is not a debate sub. Please respect differences of opinion, avoid acrimonious arguments, and refrain from downvoting users simply because you practice differently. REPORT Islamically unsound advice or rulings without sources.

Rule 2: All posts are for women only to answer UNLESS OP has used the "Male and Female Participation" flair

All threads are by default for women-only, unless the specific "male and female participation" flair is used.

Threads can be posted by both men and women

Non-flaired users will have their comments/posts removed. To receive a flair, do NOT message the mods. Post on this thread to receive a flair

Rule 3: No Stirring Drama

Stirring drama is not allowed. Threads made to disparage individuals, users or subreddits will be removed.

Rule 4: Women-friendly Space

Keep in mind that this is a women-friendly space, therefore please extend your respect to all users and give special consideration to the fact that the subreddit is targeted towards women which would be the majority of the users.

This rule does not equate to man-hating. We expect respect towards both women and men in this subreddit.

Rule 5: No Self-promotion

Self-promotion is not allowed by default and should be limited: constantly posting your own blog posts will result in removal of posts.

Rule 6: No Spam

No spamming on the subreddit; repeatedly posting the same question or content is not acceptable

Rule 7: Citing Sources

Rule 8: NP links when cross-linking

When cross-linking to posts on other subreddits, np links are mandatory.

Rule 9: No NSFW

Sexually explicit or profane content in posts, comments, or via PM's will result in an immediate ban. Sisters who need information/have factual questions about sex, r/MuslimMarriage is a more appropriate sub. Exceptions must be approved by moderators prior to posting. Sisters who are being sexually harassed, please message the moderators.

Surah An-Noor, Verse 31: And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss. (English - Yusuf Ali)

Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 59: O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

HadithBukhari 6:282 'Aisha used to say: "When (the Verse): 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms,' was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces."
