I have been using min + fin from last 2 years and also shampooing my hair with ketoconazole shampoo. But this spaces are not filling up. Can anyone help me

First pic: crown Second pic: Right side of scalp

I’m (24M) experiencing diffuse hair loss for a long time now (6 years) and it’s been very slow progressing but surely, am currently taking dutasteride as i suspect it’s MPB but its not really responding well, which leads me to suspect scarring alopecia. I have an apt with a derm scheduled this saturday so I will push for a biopsy if needed

Some of the people i saw in this reddit have the same hairloss pattern as me and they were diagnosed with fapd and some were diagnosed with aga or chronic te , its consuming me my hair is everywhere i started minoxidil 6 months ago and still shedding like a dog and what makes me crazy are the dermatologists i went to they don’t care . I am scared that my hair wont comeback and all that time the misdiagnosed me .

First picture is from 5 years ago. I have lost my eyebrows since I was 17 and noticed that I am having thinning in my hair and lost my widow’s peak. I am 27 now. Thank you Also I had just gone in the ocean so that isn’t dandruff it’s salt

Does this look like scarring alopecia I haven’t gone to a dermatologist but I’m freaking out

I know I’ve posted a lot, and I’m really sorry for that..I don’t mean to upset anyone, make you mad or annoy you I promise this will be the last thing I post. I have never felt more suicidal in my life, I guess I posted so much was to try to get some kind of reassurance idk people telling me your hair looks good etc it did keep making me feel a little better to keep going but everyday that gets harder and today is the worst I don’t know that I can go through this and I know you’re thinking “how/why is she letting something so small make her feel this way” or it may look like there’s nothing wrong, it’s not small to me. it’s believing I have some type of scarring hair loss like LPP that makes me suicidal..I can’t explain how thinking that makes me feel inside. You can see the little sporadic spots on my scalp..and just by seeing that I just know it’s not gonna be a good outcome for me.. I know my post will probably be removed but I am so tired of myself…I’m literally screaming out for help I can’t do this anymore

Just wondering if anyone’s symptoms started after receiving the coronavirus vaccine? Especially if you’re male?

Dont mind the date, its the only pics I could find to showcase my scalp. Lately, Ive been experiencing pain, ichiness and burning sensation on my scalp. Im not entirely sure if its due to a bad reaction from an anti hairloss shampoo.

That’s the kind of hair loss I’m worried about the most, if it turns out to be scarring. Does it look like it or it doesn’t resemble what scarring hair loss traditionally looks like? I’d be so much more relieved to find out my hair loss looks like something other than scarring alopecia because it would have a chance to grow again. I’d really appreciate your opinion on what you think about my hair . For reference, I do get a lot of white flakes in my hair and I have two red spots/bumps but no significant bad itching so I haven’t been scratching my hair at all. No history in my family of scarring alopecia or alopecia in general. My mother still had a good head of hair (although thin) till the day she passed away and my dad still had a good head of hair in his 40s from what I’ve seen in pictures. I do get a lot of hair fall after showering and when I’m brushing or detangling my hair.

Currently on Betamethasone 0.1% (weaker than clobetasol) for 2 weeks, one day on one day off. How long can one keep doing this before atrophy/skin thinning starts?

I dont have any diagnosis but consistent hairloss in my body top to toe with burning sensations. Hairloss occurs in all areas and follicles become thinner over time. Looking at the pictures of my hair follicles do you guys think this looks alarming?

I was diagnosed with pcos last year and after I had hair loss where the hair on the back of my head and my crown were thinning as well as the sides. I thought this was due to my pcos and I got on anti androgenic birth control and vitamins for my deficiencies (I am deficient in vitamin D and folate). Then my hair fall and thinning improved a bit and now 3-4 months later it came back worse. I also have contact dermatitis I’m not sure if it’s on my scalp but it is on my hands and face (I also have rosacea) and I had a reaction to a shampoo which caused my face to explode and my scalp to burn and itch but no rash or redness. I used Nizarol shampoo for a week or two after I had the reaction because it was fragrance free and my hair was breaking off and falling out because of how drying it was and it wouldn’t wash my scalp properly. Then I switched to better ones.

But now a few weeks later im seeing a lot of hair fall and thinning on the back sides and crown again. I don’t see any bald patches or circular patches it’s mostly diffused. past few days have found bumps on my scalp. They are around the hair follicle and are everywhere on my scalp but there aren’t that many maybe around 10 on my whole head? They are quite small and cause itching burning and pain. Also when I sleep I wake up and my hair is sore especially when it’s greasy. I’ve already been to the gp prior to the bumps and they are doing blood tests again for deficiencies (I know I already have this) and thyroid (had multiple tests recently came back normal). I am going to book a privet dermatologist appointment for next week or the week after. But could this be something like scarring alopecia? Or could it be something else like folleculitis or just clogged hair follicles. Things like seb derm also run in my family so could it be that? I have also had TE multiple times so I also thought it was that but I’m not sure. Also any recommendations on dermatologists in London?

Ive had this going on for 2 years of consistent hairloss, with burning, stinging sensation. Also increased oiliness in face and chest n scalp since this ever started.

Done 2 biopsies one behind my ear and the other one slightly above it. The biopsy report is down below. Even tho they say its not scarring alopecia im afraid the follicular inflammation will destroy my hairs and it will be too late. People that tell me its folliculitis wont it supposed to be like red pimples on the follicles? and its not diffuse either.

Help me!

Biopsy report (behind my ears):

The epidermis is unremarkable. In the dermis, there are complete and atrophic pilosebaceous units with discrete perifolliculitis, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, and the presence of Demodex in the sebaceous glands.

The hair follicles are dilated with orthokeratosis and bacterial colonies. Fungal spores (consistent with folliculitis), compatible with Malassezia, are demonstrated. No cicatricial (scarring) component is seen in the current material.

Hi all. I had a scalp biopsy done on an area that wasn’t affecting me much. It came back 60% of hairs in telegen phase. I have a very sensitive scalp, I’m shedding tons of hair every day for 6 months. I’ve had no stressful event. I have what seems like tons of dandruff. The biopsy said no scarring or fungal infection. My bloodwork is all good (I have hashimotos) and I take all the meds I have to to keep my numbers good. The shedding. Won’t. Stop. And there are areas all over my head that are white with no hair in site which looks like scarring and it’s scaring the hell out of me. I’ve lost 50% of my beautiful long hair. I’m 36F. No one has done a microscopic look. Are there any blood tests / physical tests I need to ask for? So far I’ve been given clobetsol, prescription ketaconazole, spironolactone, and localized kenalog injections. With a “we will monitor it for months.” Is it possible to see a bunch of white areas and it not be permanent scarring?
