I'm really worried about my hair loss over the past few months. I've been losing a lot, like 200-250 strands a day, and it's freaking me out. My scalp is painful when I touch it and feels warm too. I've had issues with Seb derm in the past, but medication helped then. Now, I'm also dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and started supplements last month. Im using a mild shampoo and washing my hair every other day, but nothing seems to help. I know I need to look into a full treatment plan, but I'm not sure where to start. Can you guide me?

I've been dealing with a red rash around my waist, and it's been itching pretty badly. It's been going on for at least two months now and seems to disappear from one spot only to show up somewhere else nearby. I'm starting to worry about what might be happening. Any thoughts on what this could be or what steps I should take next?
for providing more details about the red, itchy rash around your waist. To help identify the cause and develop a treatment plan, I recommend the following: Visual Assessment: If possible, please upload a photo of the rash. This will help in making a more accurate assessment. Additional Information Needed: Have you noticed any patterns or triggers, like exposure to new clothes, soaps, or environments, that coincide with the appearance or worsening of the rash? Do you have any personal or family history of allergies or skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis? Based on the information you've already provided, here are some possible considerations and general recommendations: Possible Causes: Eczema or Contact Dermatitis: Often results in itchy, red rashes and can be triggered by irritants or allergens. Fungal Infections: These can appear as red, itchy, and scaly patches, particularly in areas like the waist where moisture might be trapped. Hives (Urticaria): Can cause red, itchy, raised welts that move around the body. Suggested Treatment: Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams can help reduce inflammation and itchiness. Antihistamines: Oral antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine can help relieve itching. Avoid Irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free detergents and skincare products. For persistent or spreading rashes, it might be valuable to consider further diagnostics. These could include skin swabs, allergy tests, or patch tests if an allergic reaction is suspected. Please feel free to upload a photo or share any more details, and I'll be glad to provide further guidance.
