Hair and Scalp Problem

Hair and scalp problems may occur separately or together. Hair problems may be due to cosmetic causes, such as excessive shampooing and blow-drying, or due to underlying diseases, such as thyroid problems.

There are many forms of hair problems that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional.

The most common concerns for which we have provided a brief overview are:

• hair loss and scaly,
• itchy scalps
• Androgenetic Alopecia
• Alopecia Universalis
• Scalp Disease
• Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
• Lichen Planus
• Dandruff
• Head Louse

These conditions are generally harmless but may be unsightly. There are as yet no guaranteed cures for either of these conditions but management can help.

Health Tip

Brushing your teeth immediately after dinner can help resist the evening-snack urge. The minty toothpaste flavour signals that eating is over for the day.
