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: 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.

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.
