Can hair loss happen due to femulen mini pill ?

I m 17 and I have been on Femulen tablets for about 9 months now, I have thick hair and a lot of it and it is medium length, therefore my hair does shed alot. However, a few weeks ago, I had a burning pain on my scalp one night, at first it didn t bother me too much, but after a couple of days the burning pain had increased and I went to the doctor, who believed it was excema and gave me some Polytar shampoo to use. I used this and within a week the pain had gone, however my head now itches in the same three/four places where the burning was centralised. Also, in the past week or two, my hair has been shedding alot more, when i brush it or wash it or comb it or untie a large amount of long hairs all falling out, often they have what I d presume to be the root attached to them, as it is a small white piece of dead skin or something? But yes, I m just concerned if this is hair loss or not, and I m unsure as to whether the Femulen pill could be involved with this but I ve read that Birth Control Pills can lead to hair thinning and loss. Thanks!

hi.
The recognised side effects of progesterone only pills do not include hair loss, although it is possible that subtle hormonal changes associated with a change of pill may affect the balance of hair loss and hair growth.
if you have dandrouf use ketoconazole shampoo, apply it twice week
