      Mine does really badly during a flare up! I usually coat it in conditioner or coconut oil if I have it because of how irritated it gets

        @JoeysMomma20 I didn’t know it had to do with my flares until my mom said something about nerves making it seem like there’s a spider in her hair.

      Yeah that happens to me sometimes. Usually at night while I’m trying to sleep because I can’t focus on anything else, I end up scratching until I bleed

        @Sonder0723 Same here, when I talked to my primary doctor about it, he said that he doesn’t think it has something to do with nerves but then again he doesn’t specialize in that kind of stuff.

        @scuba I cut off all my hair because it hurt so much that even the weight of my hair hurts it
