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:
- Skin and scalp problems and loss of hair https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/scalp-problems-and-loss-of-hair/
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?

Thank you for the great info. Maybe I'm not navigating correctly bc I didn't find related threads. So ty. I get the stress thing but my majority of my surgeries were pre- 2015. Except full hysterectomy early 2018, and full gastronomy w jejuostomy late Nov 2021. So not sure, if I'm still body stressed from them or not. I did see dermatologist, she didn't even touch me, examined from a distance, gave me dx, went home looked it up. The name defined, picking/itching disorder, which that may be a result, but definitely not the cause. So that wasn't helpful. No rheumatology yet.
