Itchy Scalp, Unbearable Cold, Emotionally Stressed, Have Growing Moles. Less Intake Of Water. What Is Going On?

I have an itchy scalp, so I often co-related it to less-intake-of water. But my hair is falling a lot, rapid graying. The moles on my skin(exposed and unexposed parts) are increasing in size and number by the year. eg: every year i have 3-4 new tiny moles and the existing ones have geown visibly bigger in size. I'm only 24 yrs. old and I don't understand why this is happening ?

I've been born and brought up in a hot country so the lifestyle has been more of indoor and always air-conditioned! Off late, I've been feeling unbearably cold and sleep without the ac switched on while the temperature is 36-38 degree Celsius !

May I know what is happening to me ? I've also been extremely emotionally stressed due to some personal problem..

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
You are under lot of stress and worries.
You are psychologically disturbed. It seems that , it is the only and definite cause of scalp itching... Scalp prurigo.
Hair loss, telogen effluvium..is also due to psychological factors.
Anxiety and depression are bad factors to precipitate scalp prurigo and hair loss.
I think you need peaceful enviornment.
You should try to keep your mind cool.
Every problem has its solution...
Try to solve problem. If not possible, then you accept it.
I definitely hopeful for your psychological improvement.
You take anti axiety drugs like fluoxetin.. Under observation of psychiatrist or dermatologist.
Remember , development of moles are based on genes, no enviormental or psychological factors increase the size and numbers of moles.

I hope you got my answer...

Best wishes for recovery.
