Well, I just got back from my visit to the GP regarding itchy scalp and possible hair loss. He never mentioned eczema, and prescribed me Betamethasone Valerate. My plan, once that stuff sorts my scalp out, is to start using Nizoral to keep my scalp healthy, and also start a fresh shampoo/conditioner combo. The Aussie product sounds good judging by comments on here.
As for hair loss, he reckons there is nothing to worry about. He said that my fine hair, together with low crown and odd parting, results in more scalp being visible than elsewhere on my head. He put down products like minoxidil and propecia, saying they would have minimal effect and weren't worth bothering with even if I was going bald. I still believe there's something going on up there, I'll try and take a photo for people to see.
Aside from that he just gave some general hair health tips.
P.S Since finding you guys, and your attitudes and love of hair, I can't look at a fellow longhair in the street without thinking we share some sort of connection. They most likely just see it as some style they happen to like, but I'm surprised with myself that I see long hair as much more.
Thanks for reading,
Matt.
Hmmm... the data does not support his conclusion. Maybe it's time for a new GP.
