Senior Member johnny2000 Posted April 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2015 I keep loosing hair. I am on the edge of a breakdown. I have now washed my hair 5 times today to make sure all the toppik is out. What is the yellow/lightbrown grease on my scalp by the hairroots?

Senior Member HairFunk Posted April 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 Looks like seborrheic dermatitis to me. I suggest you buy Nizoral 2% shampoo, and wash you hair with it twice a week only for 2 - 4 weeks. Then once weekly with a regular shampoo in between. Try not to wash your hair every day either. Every other day is best. I literally wash mine 3 / 4 times a week only. 5 times a day is excessive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member johnny2000 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 could this be why my hair keep getting worse? i use nizoral 1 % 1-2 times a week and have been for a long time along with finasteride. do you think that is ok or do i need stronger nizoral?

Senior Member johnny2000 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 i also read something about rubbing seasalt on the scalp and let it sit for 15 min and then wash out, to get rid of Seborrheic Dermatitis. is that true?

blackhimu Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I do agree with HairFunk @johny2000:- You can buy Nizoral 2% shampoo and use it to get rid of this problem. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the stronger one, and use like I say. Report back in 4 weeks. I'd be interested to track your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jugendlich Posted April 4, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Hard to judge from photos but make sure its not scalp ringworm (tinea capitis). I had ringworm infection which started around 7 months post my fue transplant. Its uncommon in adults and mainly affects children so i think that it had something to do with dermarolling combined to minoxidil apllication advised by clinic, normal sebum production protects scalp from infection but dermarolling causes small wound which can get infected. Ringworm infection causes brittle hair which breaks of easily leaving bald patches with stubble remaining. Usually the infected scalp area looks scaly/reddish. Nizoral shampoo/Head and shoulders can help to relieve symptoms but wont kill the fungi. In case of ringworm you need to take oral antifungal medication like terbinafine for several weeks. I shed lots of hair but majority have started to grow back now when i started the medication. Go to see dermatologist to find out what's going on! Edit: i took a closer look and pretty sure its infection!! I contacted the clinic and told them not to advise dermarolling for patients as i seem not to be the only infected case! I had similar symptoms. Get on medication asap!! First terbinafine dose gave me horrible anxiety, vivid nightmares, panic attack and depression so be prepared. Now recovering from infection and feeling great. I really feel your pain mate. I didn't know what was going on until i made some research, i avoided social contacts with people and felt bad. It was such a relief when i realized it was infection and started to treat it succesfully. Google scalp ringworm and see photos to find out if that's the case. IMPORTANT!!!!! Ringworm is often mixed with seborrheic dermatitis so make sure to see your dermatologist for proper diagnosis!!!! Good news is that it doesn't cause permanent hairloss if treated before it turns to kerion. All the best , hope you recover fast.

It has the same color as the toppik i used. Also i dont use minox And i dont dermaroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted April 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2015 IMHO, it would be beneficial to see a dermatologist for a diagnosis especially if the condition persists and Nizoral is not clearing it up. If you have health insurance, the office visit should be covered. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
