Dear doctors, I went to many Doctors and they told me I have AGA because my hair is thinning, but non of the doctors knew why my scalp is all the time red. Only in the parts where my scalp is red my hair is thinner. The redness is spread out like a map, I have it every single day. It burns, it doesn't itch, I don't have dandruff, and the scalp is tender. Only the crown of the scalp. I use a hypersensitive shampoo and it is still red and burns. Please suggest me something to reduce the redness.
