What Causes Hair Loss With A Reddish Scalp?
For about three months now, I have had a red scalp and hair loss. At first I thought it was due to my blow dryer being too hot, so I bought a new one. Then I thought I was having an allergic reaction to hair product that I used often. I stopped using it but the symptoms continue. It feels as though I have a sunburn on my scalp. What could be the cause?

It could be due to seborrhoic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. Consult a doctor and go for clinical examination of the scalp to find out its exact cause.
