I have had hair loss for 8 years non stop. I have itching burning scalp and tingling. My hair never stops shedding and everything makes my hair shed. If I have a cold, it will trigger shedding, if I didn't get enough sleep, big shed the next day.., it never ends and I am tired. I have lost more then half my hair in the past 8 years and it is getting thinner by the day. My hair is long.. I always put it In a ponytail. and I just wish the shedding will stop. Is this CTE or Aga? When will it end?
Answer: Female Hair Loss In order to answer this question, you will need to meet with a hair transplant surgeon for a consultation. Due to the severity of your symptoms as well as the length of time you’ve been dealing with them, we need to make sure there isn’t an underlying medical condition causing the hair loss. The best way to prevent and fight hair loss is to be as proactive as possible. This means meeting with a doctor to discuss your options. Your primary priority at this point is going to be to save and maintain the hairs you still have. You may want to look into PRP therapy, laser therapy, and/or minoxidil. If you are interested in reversing the hair loss, you will want to see if you are a candidate for hair transplant procedure. Feel free to contact our office for an appointment

Answer: Itching, burning scalp and hair loss I am very sorry to hear that you have been dealing with these symptoms for so long! There are multiple causes for hair loss, particularly in women. It is best to meet with a hair expert face-to-face in consultation. Given your complaints of burning sensation, hair loss, itching and tingling of the scalp, a proper physical exam, some lab work and possible scalp biopsy is necessary to determine the cause of your symptoms. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: CTE or AGA Female pattern hair loss or genetic alopecia is the most common reason of hair loss in women and it is more common than it is thought to be. 25% of the women at the ages of 35-40, 50% of the women at the ages above 40 suffer from hair loss. 20% of the women with hair loss have a positive relative who suffered/is suffering from hair loss. Other reasons of hair loss are: Hypo- and hyper-tiroidism (hair loss may be one of the early signs of thyroid dysfunction, and hair loss stops after treatment); polycystic ovarian syndrome (an inherited ovarian disease, seen in 10% of the women during adulthood); pregnancy-related hormonal changes (temporary hair loss which can be seen during pregnancy stops after birth)..

Answer: CTE or AGA Differentiating CTE from AGA is important. In my mind, it's never is this CTE or AGA but rather 4 possibilities. Is this CTE, or AGA or both or something else completely. Determining this can't come from a photo. It can only come from a detailed review of the history of the patient's hair loss and examination up close. I would advise seeing a dermatologist for review. A biopsy or hair collection can sometimes guide your physician if the diagnosis remains unclear.
