I have had slow steady hair loss since the neuropathy spread to my scalp (as well as everywhere else) 2 years ago. And I didn't have much to start with!
My dermatologist said I have seborrheic dermatitis but it doesn't fit the description perfectly. My scalp gets mildly inflamed from time to time and turns pink in spots. I use a regimen of Nizoral in both regular and prescription strength as well as normal shampoo. I think it helps but it's hard to tell, the hair just keep slowly falling out. I have also used Olux foam on occasion for bad flares.
I was hoping this might be a clue as I'm currently "idiopathic" but apparently doctors aren't too interested in hair loss as a symptom of anything. And I've read seborrheic dermatitis (if thats what I have) is common in neurological disorders.
I never had the scalp issues until the numbness spread to my scalp, so I know there is a connection somewhere.... I wish I had better advice, but I haven't had much success myself.
