Q. Do I need an annual Scalp
Checkup?
A. AN ANNUAL SCALP CHECKUP
by Dr. Linda Amerson
A healthy scalp is vital to healthy hair. An annual scalp checkup should also
be a priority along with an annual physical, well woman exam, mammogram for
women, eye exam, dental checkup, prostate exam for
men, and blood work. Some consumers may never have thought of a scalp checkup
as important, but it is very important for men, women, and children. Just as
your body chemistry has the possibility of changing annually, so can your scalp
health. Sudden changes in the scalp tissue could be an indication of health
related imbalances and/or diseases. Some visible signs could be detected by a
consumer, however, it would be best to seek the expertise of a Doctor of
Trichology to get an accurate evaluation.
A consumer may have a head full of hair, yet have a daily scalp problem of an
itchy scalp, scaly scalp, dry scalp, oily scalp, inflammation, folliculitis,
tinea capitis, scalp discoloration, papules, scalp sores, crawling, burning
scalp syndrome, tingling, scalp tenderness, patchy alopecia and on goes the
list. If you have experienced any of these signs or symptoms, you need a scalp
checkup with a Doctor of Trichology. Furthermore, the longer you wait to have
your scalp condition accurately evaluated, the more severe your scalp condition
may become. Many consumers focus on their hair looking stylish, rather than
their scalp health. In addition, a Doctor of Trichology will examine your hair
strand for hair shaft defects, and nutritional deficiences. A microscopic
analysis assists in detecting over 32 different hair shaft defects, as well as
clogged follicles, scalp dehydration, sodium buildup, hair breakage, dirt and
bacteria accumulation, and many other deficiencies.
In conclusion, all consumers should have an annual scalp checkup, to ensure
your hair will grow at it's healthiest capacity. Seek the expertise of a Doctor
of Trichology.
