Is this true? BTT Enlighten me
I have Seborrheic dermatitis and hair thinning, I was researching a little bit when I came across this:
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that can cause hair loss and the formation of scaly patches on the skin. The patches are itchy and inflamed, and they can cause the skin to flake. If seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp, the follicles that are affected by the dermatitis will temporarily stop producing hair and result in hair loss or thinning. This can cause hair loss in varying degrees; however, once the condition is treated, the follicles will be able to produce hair again as normal.
Is this true? Can anyone back this up?
