What are your recommendations for overall hair loss with pink scalp? (Photos)

Question

I have had a pink scalp for years, has not been an issue, chalked it up to being outside a lot. Last couple of years after a perm at a salon, I started losing hair and getting breakage badly. It progressed to hair coming out in clumps when I wash. I was able to stop clumps falling out awith vegamour, but the scalp still pink and still getting heavy shedding. No itching or scaling. Side note- my throat is also pink with different texture. Rosacea? Solution?

Hi and thanks for the question! I would recommend topical minoxidil (Rogaine) and consider scalp PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections to help with hair thickness, coverage, and prevention of further loss! The neck and scalp skin quality do not typically have a link between them in something like this.
I hope this helps! Best of luck

I can’t see enough of the scalp to tell you what’s going on. I need a lot more good quality photos and a lot more information. The neck issue is probably separate but needs a proper examination too. You certainly need blood tests and a really good trichoscopic examination. The exact blood tests you will need will depend on the answers you give to about 40 questions so it’s not just a standard recipe. All in all, be sure to see an expert. Your scalp is probably not pink simply from being outside alot

I recommend a consultation to go over your medical history and see what you may be a candidate for!  A few labs will rule out organic causes
