What Causes Itchy Inflamed Scalp And Rapid Hair Loss?

I think I have TE. Scalp was very itchy and inflamed for a couple days then my hair started thinning quite rapidly, quite noticeable within a few days, a little at my hair line too, but definitely diffuse thinning all over my head, even the sides. Not gradual at all. TE? Also, when does new hair start to grow? Ive read sometimes immediately, and have also read sometimes it takes months for new hair to grow. I shave my head so I would see new growth immediately. Its been about a month and a half, no new growth. Possible MPB? Can that occur rapidly?

Hello,

After shaving hair, it may take about 3 months for the hair to grow about an inch. Sometime, it may take a longer time to grow depending on the age, metabolism and food that you take. The older you are the longer it may take to grow. You should take healthy, nutritious home made food. Stay well hydrated. Avoid addictions if any. Grains, meat, and vegetables with omega-3 fatty acids bring faster hair growth.

Lean meats and healthy fats are helpful. Take fresh fruits and vegetables also. Take biotin and fishes. Rapid hair loss occurs due to dandruff or ring worms in the scalp. Always use Selsun shampoo to get rid of dandruff. Keep the scalp oiled with almond or coconut oil or any oil that suits you. Vitamin B12 deficiency and vitamin D also causes hair loss. Take supplements. Take Logihair capsules, once daily for better hair growth and for prevention of hair loss.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
