Itchy head? Hair falling out?
So my head has been really itchy the past month or so. And its just the back part of my head.
My hair is starting to fall out, like crazy.
Do you think its head lice? Or what?
I've checked the sides of my head, and there doesn't seem to be anything there. How do I check properly? Should I go to the doctor? Or what?
Hellppppp.

Well the first thing to consider is how much you wash your hair. If you wash at least 3 times a week then it may be something, but if you wash like 1 time per week, then it just means you need to wash your hair more often.
Another thing is how much hair is falling off. About 100 strands are supposed to fall out/die everyday. If you don't comb your hair daily, then you'll think alot is falling out when really it's just a build up.
It could be stress if none of the above applies. I would go to a doctor. I believe you normally go to a dermatologist for hair problems, so you should go to one.
Good luck!

There are lots of causes for what you have described.
"Itchy scalp can be from hair regrowth or from other factors, such as nervous disorders and stress which causes hair loss. Other causes for your hair loss and itching include imflammatory disease, psoriasis, alopecia areata, etc"
I'd also like to point out that headlice don't make your hair fall out and if you can't see any when you check .. then you should rule that out.
Go to a doctor so they can pinpoint exactly what's causing your itchy scalp and hair loss and to get the treatment you need.

The best thing you can do is go see your doctor. None of us here on the site are doctors, and none of us can properly diagnose you.

I don't know what that is but if I were you I would go to a doctor. It could be nothing or it could be something. Better safe than sorry.
