In Early Hair Loss, Can Scalp Tingling and Hair Thinning be Related?

January 17th, 2005

Q: I am twenty and think that I am starting to thin. I am also experiencing a slight tingling in my scalp. Are these related?

A: Most likely. Early androgenetic alopecia can be associated with a slight tingling or slight tenderness of the scalp.

You should see a dermatologist for evaluation and, if you have early male pattern baldness, consider starting finasteride (Propecia).
