What Is Folliculitis? Do I Have It?

02.10.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of the hair follicles and is fairly common as it can be spread through the use of clippers that have not been sterilised correctly. Without treatment, this condition can also lead to diffuse hair loss as the inflammation of the scalp leads to production of superoxide, which causes hair shedding. Though your hair will regrow, it may not be as thick as it was before.

What Is Sebborhoea? Do I Have It?

02.10.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Sebborhoea of the scalp occurs when the scalp produces excess sebum, leaving the hair and scalp excessively greasy. It is a functional disorder of the sebaceous gland leading to the excessive secretion of sebum. This collects on the skin and in the hair forming an oily coating which can result in crusts and/or heavy scaling.

What Is Pityriasis Simplex? Do I Have It?

02.10.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Pityriasis simplex is known more commonly as dandruff. It is characterised by the excessive shedding of the scalp’s epidermal cells, which leads to visible flaking or scaling. These scales can accumulate on the surface of the scalp in localized patches or more diffusely. The exact cause is uncertain, although the bacteria pityrosporum ovale and increased sebaceous activity have been suggested as factors.

What Is Pityriasis Amiantacea? Do I Have It?

02.10.2007 in Uncategorized

Answer: Pityriasis amiantacea begins with a swollen, discoloured and weeping scalp, which causes the hairs to stick to each other and to the scalp. Following the first stage, the scalp begins to produce a thick layer of silvery white or dull gray scales that pile up along the hair shafts.  Although the patches may often be found next to a hair part, the back of the head is a common site.  Rather than spreading to the rest of the scalp, a fine, branny scale appears over the unaffected area.

My Story About My Alopecia Areata.

01.10.2007 in ALOPECIA AREATA, Uncategorized

At the beginning of this year I noticed a thinning of my hair and decided to visit my GP for some advice as to the problem. After several visits without success I asked to be referred to a trichologist for a second opinion. My GP said there was nothing he could do as it was a waste of time and money. After getting no further help from my GP I decided to get a second opinion for myself. I had heard about The Hair Centre on the radio and decided to go along for a consultation. I was diagnosed as suffering from Alopecia Areata and after speaking to a trichologist I felt much happier and relaxed knowing there was some treatment that could help me. At first I was a bit apprehensive and worried it was not going to work but after just 3 months of treatment I can see a very noticeable change of hair growth and the treatment has been very successful as it has stabilised the hair loss. I am currently using a maintenance shampoo recommended by The Hair Centre at home and I am very happy with the results and will continue to use it after the treatment has finished in three months’ time as it has put my hair in a much healthier condition.
