Does this look like scarring alopecia? (Photo)

Asked By:SFSorrow1968 in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania

I have been shedding and itching for 7 months. Was diagnosed with seb derm, TE, and MPB. Used Keto 2%, clobetosol, doxycycline, and am trying 2.5% selenium sulfide. Nothing seems to work. I’ve noticed a completely bald spot that my derm suspects may be a scar. However, he noted no abnormalities in the rest of my hair. I’m skeptical since I’ve noticed a widening of my part and lots of hair on my pillow and in the shower. I’m desperate to stop the itching. Do the pictures look like it’s permanent?
