I'm 24 and I've noticed my hair starting to fall out around 5 months ago. It's mainly coming out rapidly from the sides of my head above my ears, and now there's barely any hair left there. My crown and the top of my head seem fine, with normal volume. I've been using miniscalp10 and dutasteride for 5 months, but my condition seems worse. My hairline has also receded a bit, and I've always had a big forehead. I read somewhere that this might be retrograde alopecia, and I'm worried that a transplant might not be an option. My hair specialist keeps giving me the same meds, but I'm feeling really down about all this. Can you help or suggest something different?

View allI've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.
