Burning, itching scalp. Due to HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS?

Resolved question:
30 year old woman, no children, no pregnancies. I have been having burning and itching scalp for 4 days now and I have noticed a lot of hair thinning at my crown. My mom has alopecia (she is 67 now and she has had it for over 10 years...pre-mature balding on her father's side).
I have hashimoto's thyroiditis, endometriosis and i am currently being treated for low ferritin and low vitamin b12 level of 280. Wondering what I can do about the burning and itching feeling which is new and whether this is in any way associated with hair loss. It burns and itches at crown of my head. Thanks for your time.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
It looks from your details that most probably you had injury to your tibiotalar ligament.If there is pain and associated weakness at present then you should have a MRI scan of this ankle.Most probably you may had grade 2 or 3 tear which may need surgical intervention.
Till then you should have a protective ace bandage over affected ankle.
Hope this will help you.
Feel free to discuss further,
With best wishes.
