I sure would love to know the response of the dermatologist. I'm 37 years old. Have never had a problem with my hair. I used the Nix shampoo as a preventative tx along w/ my 3 kids for being exposed to my nieces that had lice at the time. I'm a nurse so I know how to follow directions. Two days after I used the shampoo, my head started itching like crazy and my scalp became red and irritated. Then I started noticing that my hair was noticeably thinner esp in the front.
I'm devastated and trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I"m taking Biotin to help w/ regrowth. On friday, I'm getting my blood drawn to check my thyroid, vit D, iron, Vit B12 and anything else that would let me know what is going on. My dermatologist thinks its probably alopecia arriata but I don't agree. I just think its incredibly coincidental that I use this shampoo and all of a sudden I have thinning hair. My uncle who is a dermatologist in Greensboro, NC says he thinks the shampoo affected the ratio of hair loss to new growth and that its just going to take time for it to fill back in. I"m certainly praying for it. When my scalp itches though, its a painful itch. I never had itching before this shampoo. Tell me if any of this is familiar.
I look forward to your response.
