Hello Anon

Thank you for writing and I'm sorry you're having such trouble with your scalp. It's hard to lose beautiful hair over an unknown condition.

Two more things to try (even though I'm sure you're tired of that) is apple cider vinegar (apply it to your scalp and leave for a couple of hours. Yes, it'll smell, but it's worth it to try. Do it several times. If it doesn't help, try tea tree oil.

Another thought - have you been tested for an overgrowth of yeast? This can affect the forehead and the scalp very much - a two week course of medication can help. It's worth it to mention this to your doctor. I had a "yeast infection" (overgrowth) of the forehead - little bumps (hundreds) everywhere and constant itching. It cleared right up with medication and I never experienced it again - this was about 20 years ago. The scalp is a continuation of the skin.
Best,
Susan
