Hi doc,

I am a 26 year old black female and I have been experiencing hair loss. For the past year or so, I’ve noticed that my hair has been thinnning (front of scalp), and then lately, I’ve notice
white clumps around my hair shaft. And sometimes, I would feel as though something is moving in my scalp (not lice). And its getting worse. I have set an appt. with a dermotalogist, but I
doubt it they will find out what’s wrong with me. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to help. I wash my hair every week and I get a relaxer every 4 months. I would greatly appreciate
your advice–thank you.

You need an examination. Parasites like lice are a primary diagnosis, but your visit to your dermatologist is the right first step.
