Well, I'm sorry to hear about your scalp problems. What strange things we get wrong with us and the medical profession so often doesn't understand. My Dr obviously didn't understand my problem and so gave me shots in my scalp of something I must be allergic to. My hair fell out in the area she gave several injections and I now have a problem that is way worse than it was to begin with. It is depressing to lose hair and my bald patch is a good size. I try to cover it with the rest of my hair but it isn't easy. I don't really know what to do next. I think I may see a rheumatologist about my immune system.
If you have inflammation why can't they give inflammatory medication. Having said that, mine must be inflammation too. My manicurist lost hair recently and had itchiness and bald patches. They said it was stress and gave her pills but I don't know what they were. She seems ok now and her hair grew back.
