Hi, I was wondering if a dry scalp can cause hairloss. Since starting Rogaine my scalp has become really dry and I am willing to put up with it, however, is a really dry flaky scalp a cause of hairloss? Thank you for your time! It is quite appreciated.
Having a dry scalp focuses additional attention to your scalp area where you are losing hair and you may be doing things that could cause hair loss (like rough brushing). With that said though, a dry scalp or dandruff are not related to male pattern baldness (MPB).

Yes, doctor ~ my scalp started itching all the time, even after I shampoo & condition, and I’m loosing my hair by the brush & comb full
I also have a tender spot in my head where my hair is falling out really bad.
what should I do and why does it itch so badly, even once I wash it?
Thanks,
