Hi,

You seem to have seborrheic dermatitis of scalp with scalp prurigo and bad habit of pulling the hairs..telogen effluvium. You may be anxious by nature. You just be calm and cool. Avoid bad habit of pulling the hairs. Ketoconazole shampoo like scalpe may be used daily till good result. Antihistaminics like levocetirizine may be taken till itch is relieved. Apply mild steroid lotion like mometasone lotion. Take proper diet and have enough sleep. Anxiolytic drugs like fluoxetin 10 mg may be taken till anxiety is reduced.yours may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
