Advice from David about associated Hair Loss

 
QUESTIONS: (Questions left on our 'Feedback' page)

- Does Seborrheic Dermatitis or Scalp Psoriasis cause your hair to fall out?

- Will David's scalp lotion help heal the scalp and will the hair grow back?

- Will I see a difference in 14 days with the hair growing back?

- Have you had any experience with treating Folliculitis Decalvans?

- Losing quite a lot of hair with the flakes when they come out


Hair loss due to psoriasis or seborrhoeic dermatitis often recovers once the condition causing the hair loss is controlled.

Check the following link :
http://dermnetnz.org/hair-nails-sweat/hair-loss.html
We have had good results with conditions like the ones pictured in the section "Scalp Conditions" on that web site.

Our product will markedly improve the condition within 14 days then once the condition has been controlled you should notice hair regrowth.

It is hard to say exactly when you will notice hair regrowth but once the condition has been controlled I would estimate a noticeable improvement within another 30 days.

I have several hairdressers who refer clients to me with good outcomes in such situations.

As always, the product is covered by our unconditional money back guarantee and is worth trying..

Hello David, Have you had any experience with treating Folliculitis Declavans? All suggestions welcome,

Subject: Re: Folliculitis Declavans
Hi

Basically I have not encountered it but my literature search may help you somewhat I hope: As you know this problem is a scarring problem associated with substantial hair loss and baldness. It is known to be linked to Staph infection which causes pustules ,scarring and hair loss. Several different prescription treatments have been tried with some success. As antibiotic resistance can be a problem one recent combination has been successful which is a new treatment regimen consisting of rifampicin (300 mg) and Clindamycin (300 mg) twice daily for 10 weeks

Certainly there is no over the counter medication available.

Dermatologists generally try to eliminate the staph infection with antibiotics like Clindamycin and occasionally rifampicin. Occasionally they use steroids to suppress the immune reaction which is caused by the staph and triggers hair loss. Tretinoin which is a vitamin A derivative which stimulates skin growth and reduces scarring has also been helpful. As you are in Australia, you would be well advised to seek treatment through a public hospital with a good dermatology department.This would save you a lot on costs of the medications which can be pricey outside the hospital system. In Melbourne you could try the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

There are some very good dermatologists in the hospitals and access is possibly easier than private dermatologists. Kind Regards David Hosking

Comments: Hi. My teenage daughter has very dry white scaly patches on her scalp and I think it might be scalp psirosis. We are waiting to hear from the dermatologist. She appears to be losing quite a lot of hair with the flakes when they come out.

Is your product available in the UK and will it help the hair grow back?

Hi, The problem is likely to be one of 3 common conditions, scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis or possibly a fungal infection.

Normally the scalp loses about 100 hairs a day. However with all of these conditions scale builds up on the scalp and hair is trapped in the scale. The hair that is falling out due to the skin problem plus the hair that normally falls out and grow back gets caught in the scale making the hair loss look quite severe.

Once the condition is under control the hair will grow back. When the dermatologist determines the type of condition she has you will be able to effectively treat it. If it is fungal then an anti-fungal shampoo such as Nizoral will clear it up. In the case of Psoriasis or Seborrhoeic dermatitis our Psorexederm Scalp lotion is very effective. We do not have an agent in the UK at this time but orders can be placed on our website at http://www.hoskingspharmacy.com

Kind Regards, David Hosking
