Hair loss can sometimes be caused by a medication you take, a vitamin deficiency, or a medical condition. However, the most common reason for hair loss is heredity. Fortunately, as skin experts, at Dermatology Associates Skin and Cancer Center, serving Panama City, FL, our dermatologists can provide treatment to help you regrow hair and boost your confidence.
Determining Why You're Experiencing Hair Loss
Our first step to providing you with treatment is to figure out the root cause of your problem. Sometimes, any treatment we provide won't work if we don't know the reason because treating hair loss requires getting to the problem's origin. Once we can identify the cause, a doctor from our practice will inform you if treatment through us is possible. Part of identifying the problem means visually evaluating it. Let's say we notice a rash or a scaly patch. We may take a skin sample to test it for parasites, fungi, or other similar concerns. We can then decide on a treatment approach most suitable for your issue.
Treatment
The treatment we provide will correspond to the cause of your hair loss. For instance, if you have a fungus, a practitioner from our Panama City, FL, practice will prescribe a topical antifungal to eradicate the fungi. Once you complete the treatment, your skin will heal, and the missing hair will begin to regrow.
Sometimes, the treatment is more complex. We may need to refer you to a specialist to manage your underlying condition to encourage the hair to regrow.
For some of our patients, the most effective solution for hair growth is steroid injections, which can reduce inflammation and allow hair to begin to regrow.
