Question
Assalaamu alaykum. There is a sister who has a problem with her hair scalp. She began to wear the hijab 3-4 years ago. When she began to wear it, she developed red spots on her scalp. She went to 7 doctors, and all of them ignore what caused her scalp to be like this.They told her to change her diet and to change the material of her hijab, but no change was seen. They gave her shampoo and conditioning that has medicine in them; still not change. She tried to use natural things and even tried zamzam water upon which Surah Al-Baqarah was recited. However, still no change. What is your advice on what she should do? She said that her skin is very sensitive.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Our advice to this dear sister is that she should endeavor to supplicate Allah and to get closer to Him as all the good is in His Hands.
She should be patient with what she is suffering from, and she should know that if this tribulation is compared to the blessings that Allah has given her, then it is a very minor thing. So she should ponder over the blessings, favors, and virtues that Allah has blessed her with so that she would strive in thanking Him.
She should know that she will be rewarded for every affliction that affects her if she is patient and seeks the reward of Allah for it.
Then she should endeavor to consult the trustworthy doctors, as she might find someone who can treat her problem, as there is absolutely no illness except that there is a cure for it.
Allah knows best.
