I guessed they referred u to NCS?Just thought I would come in to share my story of hair loss.
For months on end since early last year, I had a bad itch on my scalp mostly concentrated around the crown area.
Since February this year, I noticed that my hair was starting to get very oily and there was a burning sensation that started to come on at times.
The burning sensation felt almost as if someone had lit a flame on my scalp. At the same time, I began to shed hair really noticeably. Each time I ran my fingers through my hair, there would be a few strands. My scalp was also starting to show near the crown and my hair looked limp.
I then went to see 2 GPs. One told me I had male pattern balding. Another told me that I had eczema. I then asked for a referral to a Dermatologist through the Polyclinic to really get it properly checked out.
Dermatologist checked my scalp and skin and diagnosed that I was experiencing chronic allergic reaction to something and put me on a daily dose of antihistamines. Glad to say, I started feeling better almost immediately. The itch subsided and the burning sensation went away. The hair shedding also immediately reduced dramatically.
So, I would suggest that you guys see a doctor before self-diagnosing with any topical solution. Best way to know if the hair loss is transient due to some medical condition or due to male pattern baldness.
since u got burning sensation, visiting Dermatologist is the best option.
I guess others are just a gradual hair loss
