Alopecia Areata: Giovanni's Story.(We Prove The NHS And His GP Wrong).

12.05.2008 in ALOPECIA AREATA, HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED

Start of treament.

Giovanni came to us very depressed and completely disillusioned. He was suffering from alopecia areata, psoriasis, eczema and male pattern baldness due to age.

Giovanni came to us after his GP and the NHS had refused to advise him about any of his conditions because he was in his 70’s. 

All his GP and the NHS had to do was to refer him to a trichologist. 

Fortunately for Giovanni we had treated one of his close friends and he was pointed our way. 

The rest is his story:

What Are The Symptoms Of Alopecia Areata?

09.05.2008 in ALOPECIA AREATA, Uncategorized

The typical pattern is for one or more bald patches to appear on the scalp. These tend to be round in shape, and about the size of a large coin. They develop quite quickly. A relative, friend, or hairdresser may be the first person to notice the bald patch or patches. Apart from the bald patch or patches, the scalp usually looks healthy and there is no scarring. Occasionally, there is some mild redness, mild scaling, mild burning, or a slight itchy feeling on the bald patches.

When a bald patch first develops, it is difficult to predict how it will progress. The following are the main ways it may progress.

Quite often the bald patch or patches re-grow hair within a few months. If hair grows back it may not have its usual colour at first and looks grey or white for a while. The usual colour eventually returns after several months.

Sometimes one or more bald patches develop a few weeks after the first one. Sometimes the first bald patch is re-growing hair whilst a new bald patch is developing. It can then appear as if small bald patches rotate around different areas of the scalp over time.

Sometimes several small bald patches develop and merge into a larger bald area.

Patches of body hair, beard, eyebrows, or eyelashes may be affected in some cases.

Large bald patches develop in some people. Some people lose all their scalp hair. This is called alopecia totalis.

In a small number of cases, all scalp hair, body hair, beard, eyebrows, and eyelashes are lost. This is called alopecia universalis.

The nails are affected in about 1 in 5 cases and can become pitted or ridged.

Some people become self-conscious, anxious or distressed by the appearance of the hair loss.

Psoriasis: A 32 Year Old Women Recovers Her Hair (See Her Results)

09.05.2008 in HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED, TRICHOLOGIST

Psoriasis is characterised by the presence of red, raised patches covered by silvery-white scales, which is caused by an abnormally fast cell division rate in the epidermis layer of the skin and is a genetically determined disorder. This condition often leads to increased shedding of hairs in the telogen (resting) phase of the hair cycle and some reduction in hair density.

Who Is the Right Person To See About My Hair Loss Problem? Is It Your NHS Doctor? If Not Who?

08.05.2008 in HAIR LOSS CLINIC REVIEWED, TRICHOLOGIST

To get advice and treatment for hair loss, you should always start with either your GP or a Trichologist.

Until very recently hair loss of any shape or form was regarded as a natural process to be endured. Your Doctor would be neither sympathetic nor understanding or helpful if you plucked up the courage to see him or her about your hair loss problem.

But things may be slowly changing. An increasing number of doctors realise that hair loss can have psychological consequences that significantly diminish quality of life, especially for both younger men and women alike, and they are becoming slightly more willing to take your hair loss problem more seriously than in the past.

If you are lucky enough to have an enlightened GP, by all means seek their advice at the very least, youll get a referral to a reliable Trichologist (although youll probably have to pay for any treatment you receive).

A Trichologist, by the way, is a hair specialist whose training covers both the cosmetic and the medical aspects of the subject.
