Hair Clinic

I had a half day in hair clinic - yes, such a thing exists. And everyone had the same chief complaint: hair loss. The patients ranged from age 14 to 70, and were predominantly female. The diagnoses ranged from androgenetic alopecia to age related hair loss to traction alopecia. Treatment was commonly minoxidil but I saw some intra-scalp injections of steroid. Nevertheless, I learned a lot about the approach to hair loss and the psychosocial impact of this disease on patients.
