I am close to nine months out - lost 105 lbs. Things were going great until a few weeks ago, I noticed my hair thinning. My surgeon's office said to take Biotin which I am. Now I am actually feeling scabs on the top of my head. What does this mean?

You may want to see a dermatologist about the scabs. Scabs tell me that you may be scratching or something like that. Aime

Hi Genny Are you scratching your head? If so that is what those scabs are. My hair was thining too and I got the Pantene Pro-V Hair breakage shampoo conditioner and there is a pump spray to spray on before you blow dry. I have been using it for about 2 months and I can see a difference. But I would go to a dermatalogist for the scabs like Aime said. You can never be to sure. Take Care Kelly

I too lost hair. I didn't have scabs on my head but I wanted to let you know what I took and continue to take for my hair loss. Biotin alone didn't help for me. the nurse at my doctors office suggested I take Omega 3-6-9. She had lost a lot of hair after her sugery and now she has a beautiful head of hair. Its very thick. Anyway. My recepe for thinning falling out hair is: 2 Biotin, 2 Fish Oils, 2 Omega 3-6-9 and Folic Acid. I took everyones suggestions and made my own receipe. I'm not sure which one stopped the hair from falling out so I just continue to take em all. Good luck to you and it will eventually stop! Congrats on the weight loss too
