I've been using toppik hair fibers to conceal the loss on my scalp, which has worked pretty well for me so far. The other day I saw the back of my head for the first time in a while, and I was horrified to see that there were visible parts of my scalp (close to the top). Now I can't stop...

I have symptoms indicative of both of these- the small white flakes and the larger sticky ones. How do I know which one of these conditions I have?

I'm not sure if my hair loss is hormonal or because of sebborheic dermatitis. I have a dermatologist who thinks it's hormonal so she's giving me treatment for that, but I do have symptoms of sebborheic dermatitis- does anyone know if there are some distinct features when hair loss is due to this...

I have small white flakes in my hair, but I also have these big greasy kind of translucent flakes. The bigger flakes seem to peel directly off my scaIp. I don't know what the cause is- is it just dandruff, dermatitis, or could it be from minoxidil foam? Are there different treatments for each...

When I press a finger to my scalp, these little black things often come back (on my finger). They look almost like extremely small hairs (they're kind of like very short black lines). Does anyone know what this is and is this something to be concerned about? (Side-note: I wash my hair every day...

I've been going through hair loss for a while. I've been told it's hormonal, but lately I've been thinking there might be another problem- When I run my fingers brought my scalp to massage it (with oils) at night, hairs often part with my scalp. They have a flaky piece of the scalp root or...

When I apply Toppik fibers on my scalp, it usually just conceals the thinning areas with a light layer. However, near my part at the front of my head, the toppik always clumps up directly on the scalp. At first it didn't bother me because it covers up the thinning area, but now I'm worried that...

I'm wondering if this could possibly be the cause of my hair loss. I've looked it up and have gotten different results; some sites say dandruff only causes hair loss if you scratch, other sites say it can lead to hair loss regardless so I'm not sure what to believe. The reason I ask is because...

I've been losing hair for a while. I have a very dry and oily scalp, but my dermatologist said she doesn't think it's a scalp condition. My blood work came back with increased testosterone, so she thinks it might be that. I've been taking birth control, but so far no changes. I've also been...
