Dermatologist

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in skin, hair and scalp conditions and can evaluate persistent problems. This site covers grooming and style only and cannot diagnose or treat any condition, so persistent itching, flaking, redness, a sore or irritated scalp, or new or unexplained thinning belong with a dermatologist or healthcare provider. A stylist can choose a flattering cut around what they see, but a haircut is not a treatment. See also: Perm, Patch test, Hairline, and the guide Soft Wavy Perm Styles: What to Know Before You Book.
