So I have been having a lot of scalp inflammation the last 10 months and have lost at least half the density of my hair which is really really depressing. I don't know what to do about it.
Two things that happened in that 10 months that lead me to believe why this is happening. 1) Massive stress/depression/anxiety from a break-up which I still have to this day because I can't get over it. It kills me. and 2) In that same period, I have been dealing with stomach pains and poor digestion.
So I think the combo of stress/anxiety and stomach inflammation is what is making my scalp itch so much and thin out so quickly. I really don't know what to do as I've been in therapy for the mental issues, tried natural stuff like magnesium and not really having much luck. And for my stomach, I've done rounds of antibiotics, tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, x-ray, blood tests, stool tests, and ultrasounds. Each time I did a round of antibiotics, I did feel like my stomach improved considerably as did the scalp inflammation and my hair felt better. But after a month, my stomach pains would rebound and the scalp inflammation and intense shedding would resume.
So what can I do to fix the above issues? And what else can I do about scalp inflammation, intense shedding, and hair thinning?
