every once in a while i'll get this tingly feeling in areas above the crown and middle of my head. i don't see any loss in those areas(only the front so far), but i have a feeling it's coming. thoughts?

I get a tingly feeling in other locations when I see a pretty woman, wonder what that means, LOL!

LOL Cousin It!

No hair Sux,

I have never heard of getting a tingly feeling before losing your hair, but I could be wrong. Do you remember getting a tingly feeling in the hairline when you started to lose hair there?

No tingle for me. Just a sinking feeling of dread. =)

hmm...i'm pretty sure i get it in the area i'm losing, too. mostly a combo of itching and tingly from time to time. maybe it's all in my head, but i've read others having similar symptoms

Ok guys, all kidding aside.

Your symptoms, NHS, may actually be valid. Perhaps the most significant cause of hair loss is INFLAMMATION. As part of this immunilogical process there is the release of histamine which manifests itself in the symptoms you described. This pathway if often neglected in favor of the more popular treatments such as the blocking of DHT. I am in the process of preparing a post that will address this aspect with possible solutions, but due to the holidays I will probably not be able to post it until the first of the year. Take a look at it when I do, I believe it will offer additional strategies to combat MPB.

i think you're right about the inflammation part. i've been using nizoral shampoo to control the itch, but it still happens. look forward to your results.

I had always some tingle feeling in the areas I was losing hair, and there is a thead about it on this or other forum cannot remember, but its a sign for losing hair in that part indeed.
