eateer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am 29 year old American Male and i am starting to experience a substantial amount of hair loss, and extremely itchy scalp. Just curious as to what the possible causes may be, and if i should see a doctor about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 See a dermatologist; you may have a fungal infection and make sure the doc does scrapings for examination under UV and other lab tests. If it is fungal, may take months to clear so best to get a diagnosis and start treatment asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eateer Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks, that is kinda what i was worried about. This doesn't feel like natural hair loss with age. And both of my grandfathers still have the majority of their hair, so i felt natural causes were a long shot. Any recommendations on a good dermatologist?

FBN Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 If you are in BKK, it would be worth while to check out the dermatologists on the Bumrungrad hospital website; the dermatology dept of the hospital is in another building and separated from the general mayhem of the main facility. Dr. Nyom there is a good chap but deals mostly with surgical issues rather than infectious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
