Hair Falling Out???

I am 36 years old and about 2 months ago my hair has been coming out in the shower by the handful and another handful while I am blow drying and styling my hair. I immediately stopped coloring my hair and began using Nioxin a shampoo for thinning hair. It has lessened the amount a little but hasn't stopped my hair falling out. Only a few people have noticed but you can really tell if you touch it. Also, the only medication I take is BC pills and I stopped taking those about six months ago. Has anyone else experienced this and know what...

Help for 5 Year Old's Dry, Itchy Scalp

Hi Everyone! My 5 year old has has scalp issues for quite some time. She always had cradle cap as an infant and it just turned into contact dermatitis as she got older (patches of dry flaky skin on her scalp). That seems to have gotten better. I see some patchy stuff on her scalp but it's nothing that is flaking at all. She is itchy on top though...I have checked for lice so I know it's not that. Her scalp isn't particularly red, it just appears to be dry and itchy. She swims almost everyday so I thought that might be making her scalp...

Alopecia! What Do I Do?

My son has had “Alopecia” for over a year now. It started with a small patch of hair that completely disappeared at the back of his head. We took him to a kids dermatologist (twice) but all they told us is the usual ‘oh it’s very common amongst kids and some adults, it will grow back’ Well it has not grown back, now we have to completely shave his head to get rid of the little patches of hair he has left (lucky he has a very pretty head:) Now I am really worried. His beautiful eye brows are thinning out, well at least the...

Daughter Losing Hair

Our 7 1/2 year old daughter is losing her hair. As I comb her hair after a bath/shower so much of it comes out. She has blonde curly hair, and it now looks thin and terrible. We took her to the doctor, he said it might be Alepecia (spelling) and he also took blood, which came back negative. So I have a dermatologist appt on June 22nd. I can't beleive they can't get her in sooner. I asked to be put on a cancellation list to hopefully get her in before June. She did get lice about two months ago, that we treated with the NIX shampoo. could...
