What Causes Severe Itching In Scalp?
I believe that after increasing Lipitor (generic brand) to 80 MG, my hair started to fall out. I do have psoriasis, but my condition was in remission at that time. This went on for a year until my psoriasis did come back, and then my hair started to fall out more, since the itch is so bad. I cannot even find a shampoo that will help. I have been tested for Alopecia, but I do not have same. Do you think that my problem is the cholesterol medication? is there a fee for these consultations?

Hi....
Thankyou for asking HCM.
The condition you are mentioning is not because of your cholesterol medication, but most probably because of your Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition that can present in lot many ways. it can involve even nails and hair.
This is a public form ie you wont be charged for this.
