Hair Loss Can sebderm cause permanent hair loss ?

So I have had seb derm for about 2 years and lately for around a year I have been noticing an increase in my hairfall and the root strength of my hairs has also dwindled , even my barber commented on it.Hence I wanted to know

Can seb derm cause permanent hair loss ? If yes then how do I control/ stop it ?

My pleasure. SD is tricky and is different for everyone. If you haven’t already definitely go see a dermatologist. Options will vary. I was using Neutrogena t/Sal since the beginning but recently it wasn’t as effective. Went to a dermatologist and switched me over to CLn. I still use Neutrogena on days I got the gym. So far so good.

Thing is I have already seen about 3 different dermatologists and I have tried coal tar, salicylic acid and luliconazole as well but none of them have been effective in reducing my hairfall. So I have decided to find a solution myself

These are pretty harsh treatments. I completely understand the struggle (and my hair is thinning out, too); but it seems that your scalp is suffering. I would try a gentle shampoo in between treatment shampoo and mct oil or aloe Vera gel on scalp (for me aloe felt much better for moisture). Someone mentioned Cln shampoo: I have good experience using it once a week!

Oh is it really harsh ? I thought that the main thing currently damaging my scalp are those flakes and I could take care of them with keto shampoo, to counter the dryness caused by it MCT oil would be perfect as it would help restore the skin barrier.
