Callaghan Trichology can diagnose and treat many scalp problems including scalp eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, itchy scalps and dandruff.
It's very important that your scalp condition is diagnosed by a qualified professional as self-diagnosis or misdiagnosis could lead to the wrong treatment which could make the condition worse.
Dandruff (Pityriasis Simplex Capitis)
Dandruff is caused by an excess of yeast known as malassezia. It can be treated by daily use of the RIGHT shampoo but can also benefit from a professional scalp treatment to stop it more quickly.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a form of eczema that affects the sebaceous-glands causing scalp inflammation and the production of yellow wax like scales across the scalp.
This condition requires ongoing treatment but is controllable and benefits from professional scalp treatments.
Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema)
Dermatitis is an allergic type skin and scalp condition, very similar to eczema but drier and tends to weep. It is frequently linked to allergies and food intolerances so I highly recommended sufferers to seek a professional food intolerance test before a consultation.
Psoriasis of the Scalp
There are many types of psoriasis but plaque psoriasis most commonly affects the scalp and is characterised by patches of deep redness covered in silvery white scales. This condition can become very thick and cause hair to adhere the hair to the scalp in clumps and sometimes hair thinning.
