Worried/Concerned
I am posting again because I didn't include pictures properly the first time.
Here is my story:
I struggled with low ferritin for over a year. Luckily, after 5 infusions, my levels at finally over 80 and have been that way for about 4 months. I went to a dermatologist last year because I noticed increased shedding, thinning, and itching. He was very dismissive and said that I have TE and dandruff. A few months later, I still noticed increased thinning, specially in the middle front on my hairline. I went back last week (to a different doctor) and she was not concerned but wants to biopsy. According to her observations, I do have thinning, but no visible scarring and a negative pull test. She also said that my eyebrows look good and I do not have any rash. She gave me oral minoxidil and cream for my inflammation.
I am so stressed out that it is paralyzing and probably making things worse.
When looking at the pictures keep in mind that I have always had a large forehead and one side of my hairline has always receded more than the other.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Trying to stay calm during diagnosis. What has worked for the itching as well?
Any thoughts would help.
