Scalp Infection Specialist

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning by a Scalp Infection Specialist

A consultation includes scalp examination, dermoscopy, and tests when needed. Results guide the use of antifungal medication, antibacterial therapy, anti-inflammatory agents, or regenerative care. Treatment areas include:

• Fungal infections like tinea capitis, managed with oral antifungals after lab confirmation.
• Bacterial folliculitis, treated with topical or systemic antibiotics and hygiene advice.
• Seborrheic dermatitis, controlled with medicated shampoos and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Scalp psoriasis, requiring tailored topical and systemic regimens.
• Scarring alopecia, where early detection may preserve hair density.

Appointments typically take 30-45 minutes for history review and treatment discussion. Bringing previous reports or photos can speed diagnosis.

Advanced Therapies Available

For complex or recurrent infections, regenerative trichology may be added. PRP, injectable platelet-rich fibrin, growth factor concentrate, low-level laser therapy, Dermapen microneedling, and exosome therapy aim to improve scalp health and may support regrowth. In selected cases, scalp micropigmentation offers camouflage for thinning or scarring. These options are chosen based on infection control status and hair restoration goals.

When to See a Specialist

Seek professional care for persistent itch, redness, scaling, hair loss patches, or pustules. Early booking can prevent spread and reduce discomfort. Symptoms needing prompt consultation include:

• Sudden or severe hair shedding with scalp pain or tenderness.
• No improvement after two weeks of over-the-counter shampoos.
• Signs of infection after hair transplant or cosmetic procedures.
• Recurring sores or crusting on the scalp.
• Concerns about contagious scalp conditions in children or family members.

Pan-India online consultations are available without travel. Clinic visits can be booked by phone or through the Alloroots website.
