What could be the cause of a female losing hair and having scabs on her scalp?

Answer by  Iamstrong (659)

There are approx. 38 varieties of scalp diseases such as seborrhea and psoriasis that cause the symptoms you describe. I would consult a doctor before seek over the counter help. In the meantime, do not scratch or pick the scabs. In doing so, you may cause more damage/injury.

It could be a bacterial infection, allergies to the hair shampoo or conditioner or an early symptom of a more serious medical problem. Definitely make an appointment with a doctor.
