I’m 18 years old (male) and I have dandruff really bad. I’m losing more hair than usual and I have no family signs of baldness. I went to the dermatologist and he said I have seborrheic dermatitis. Does seborrheic dermatitis cause temporary hair loss. My hair itches real bad and its real sore at times. If I touch my hair it hurts in certain places. I don’t think my dermatologist really knew what was wrong. What do think is my problem?
Seborrheic dermatitis, when scratched continuously, can cause traction hair loss. Seborrheic dermatitis does not cause hair loss by itself. Whatever pain or feeling you are having on your scalp needs to be evaluated by a good dermatologist. If you don’t get the answers with one doctor, get another opinion.
