Consultation for scalp concerns
If you are experiencing problems with your scalp including itchiness, discharge or scale which have not responded to over the counter treatments, you may have an undiagnosed condition.
Reasons for problems on the scalp include scalp psoriasis, CCCA, Folliculitis Decalvans, Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, Lichen Planopilaris, folliculitis decalvans, and dissecting cellulitis.
To ensure that you are on the correct treatment path, a diagnostic consultation has to take place at this clinic before any treatments are undertaken. This involves taking a detailed history and examining your scalp with a TrichoLab image (a form of high magnification using polarized light which has the added benefit of a second opinion from hair loss specialists across the world).
