Had Concussion, Sore And Burning Scalp , Hair Falling, Feels Shaky. Family History Of Diabetes
Hi - I had a concussion 2 weeks ago, now my scalp is burning and my hair is falling out like crazy. i am not sure if it is related to the concussion- my entire hair strand seems very thin from root to tip. i also have sores on the scalp. i have tried danduff shampoo but it seems to make it worse. I have woken up a few times feeling very shakey and a glass of oj seems to help. i have history of diabetes in my family - is it possible there is a relationship between the symptoms? thanks

Hello,
You have a strong history of Diabetes in the family.
Now your problem is hair loss.
By your history you are having infection in your scalp.
It is causing you to loss hair.
The infection may be Bacterial for which antibiotics are required.
If it is fungal than the treatment is antifungal.
Maintain good scalp hygiene.
Screen for Diabetes because they are prone for infections.
