Suggest Treatment For Itching On Scalp Leading To Hair Loss

The top of my scalp has been itching for 7 yrs. creating hair loss from scratching so much. I have several indents on the scalp in that area only. Was told it could be alopecia but my hair does not fall out, I scratch it off. I have no dandruff or any other problems. I'm a female, 48 yrs. old, 5'7" and weigh about 138 lbs.

hi there.
1. your concern may be seborrhoeic dermatitis.
2. don't apply hair oil after bath, instead you can apply to the shaft of the hairs, a day before head bath.
3. use only drinking water for hair wash.
4. you can try saliblu shampoo for hair wash.
5. have protein rich diet.
6. stress and pollution will flare the issue.
this may help you.
