Hey you lovely-haired people of LHC!
A couple of weeks ago I was moaning about my severe shedding and last week I finally managed to get an appointment with a famous dermatologist who had written a book about healthy hair which I haven't read so I don't know how good it is.
Well! She said I have sebbhoreic dermatitis and prescribed me some fancy shampoos, a scalp spray and some little blue bottle that has a roller head to roll onto my scalp every night, plus a couple of blood tests for thyroid, iron, zinc etc. I have to go back to her in a month to see if the shampoos worked, if not she would prescribe me Regaine (or Rogaine, not quite sure).
It was all fine and dandy until I paid up.
"How much is it altogether?" I asked the receptionist.
"$748.60 please," she replied smilingly.
For that amount my hair better grow, and grow back fast!!!!!
So far I still seem to be shedding an ungodly amount, though. I hope the blood tests were worth the money. And that little blue bottle, honestly, it's the size of a golf ball and it cost $160.
In other news, my mom is finally cancer-free! :cheese:
