I really am struggling, and secretly scared that I'm dying, slowly. I'm not sure if this is the right topic, but some very specific things have been happening to me.
Face skin patches and all over peeling/shedding never stops. Scalp peeling spots right at forehead hair line, thin skin barely scratch or run nails over and it peels off, continued weight loss, hair on head thinning 100% body hair loss.

Have thyroid checked and go to doctor asap.

Hi @kell4042, this must be so disconcerting. I moved your post about your issue with peeling and shedding skin on your face and scalp to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can connect easily with fellow members like @pollyanne @ainsleigh @mjgn8vyc @dsheahan1951, who have similar symptoms.

Kell, you mention in your bio that you have had multiple surgeries. That sounds like a lot of stress. I don't want to sound like I'm writing your syptoms off as stress, but it does sound like your body is going through a lot and stress can do crazy things to our bodies. Have you seen a rheumatologist as well as a dermatologist?
