Prickly Burning Scalp

Hi,

Do any of you experience a burning sensation across your scalp?

I seem to be losing a lot of hair (I also have one patch of alopecia) but all across my scalp feels almost as though I have sunburn (but I haven't been out in the sun).

Is this likely to be a thyroid thing?

Mine has been like this for the past four years since change from Goldshield Eltroxin to MP generic Levo. Think it is definitely under-medication.
