Adding this picture for reference to my complaints:
I think because what is visible are small areas, even I have a difficult time remembering that this is all through my scalp. Picture was taken today as I was sitting here posting and scratching. After brushing off shoulders if I scratch for 5-10 minutes that's what it looks like. And worse in the early morning as it's had overnight to build up so mornings are always a scratchfest. That's actually the upper front of my shirt, the top around the neck gets even worse.
And I always look about like that Well some days better but some days are also worse. The only difference is that when I go somewhere, I wear a light colored shirt so it's not as noticeable and I brush my shoulders off often so they can't just keep accumulating on my clothing.
I know that many of you relate (some of you are probably even saying it's not that bad and I understand that in a lot of ways I got off lucky with this awful disease) but this is an "out in public" time for me and I guess with that adding to being uncertain how to proceed right now, it's just getting to me a bit.
