Trichology is the science of the structure, function and diseases of the human hair. Clinical Trichology is the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the human hair and scalp. Problems of the scalp range from dandruff to more inflammatory conditions like psoriasis. As with the hair, these problems can be symptomatic of some other metabolic variation. Stress, poor diet, or even some allergies to certain foods, can be responsible for the build-up and shedding of dead skin cells. The management of hair and scalp that are excessively greasy is another area in which the advice of a qualified Trichologist is often sought. Here, guidance on the right type of shampoo for any individual and on its frequency of use might be particularly relevant.

Irritation, reddening, a flaky scalp, crusty scalp, inordinate oil, and a dry scalp are all of some of the biggest symptoms of an itchy scalp. Additionally, these signs and symptoms may result in hair loss. Most importantly, this could be a sign of a simple or more serious flaky scalp condition. So, what’s your future goals? This is completely reliant on how you’re feeling and what you’re doing to treat your dry scalp right now.

Poor hygiene, inadequate rinsing, Scalp Eczema, Scalp Psoriasis, Dandruff, Seborrheic Dermatitis (aka Pityriasis Simplex Capitis, Pityriasis Rotunda, Pityriasis Circinate), Pediculus Capitis, and irritant or allergic reactions can all cause an itchy scalp. Many of them are treatable chronic diseases. Treatment may be able to alleviate itchy scalp conditions. When you have a flaky scalp, you may experience hair loss. If the crusty scalp is stressed by disease, the hair follicles may enter a dormant state and stop producing hairs. Hair growth could return to normal once the dry scalp has been treated.

To provide advice and treatment for more serious or chronic itchy scalp conditions, we would need to see you in person. Because itchy scalps cause the skin to proliferate at a faster rate, the treatment entailed slowing this process down. The flaky scalp and itching, as well as other factors, were caused by the accelerated growth rate. The itchy scalp can be treated by removing the crusting and calming the underlying skin, as well as slowing cell growth and eliminating the itch. Please do keep in mind that removal of the crust is a skilled procedure that is done by a experienced trichologist and should not be attempted at home.
