Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. This article will be a collection of questions and answers on the topic of traction alopecia.
Question: A dermatologist is consulted for serious skin problems. In case of hair loss, in fact, they turn to a trichologist. But if the trichologist is conscientious, he will send the patient for tests. There will be a lot of them. And it is not enough to pass tests - they must be correctly interpreted. This is best done by a gynecologist-endocrinologist, because most of the causes of hair loss are his own sphere. Curious about how old you are and what are you disguising as a doctor?
Answer: We don't have trichologists. They are only found abroad. There are dermatologists in the Russian Federation. Hair loss is a serious skin problem. Therefore, you need to contact a dermatologist. Not only a doctor, but also anyone can call himself a trichologist. It would be foolish to consult anyone for a medical problem. The gynecologist does not deal with hair loss, he deals with the excess growth of excess hair. That is, on the contrary. You got it all mixed up.
Question: My hairdresser said that alopecia areata is very common after stress. This is true?
Answer: If you listen to the opinion of the hairdresser about alopecia, you will be left without hair. Go see a dermatologist.
Question: Can you please tell me if the reason for hair loss can be the use of pills for the scalp? And does it make sense to use them at all? Thanks!
Answer: It all depends on how the peels are used. This is a cosmetic procedure. They are never required.
Question: At the age of 3.5, my daughter noticed these symptoms. The trichologist diagnosed traction alopecia. We took a bunch of tests - everything was within the normal range. It got better gradually, especially after the multivitamins and omega 3. After 2 weeks of use, the hair became noticeably better. In general, the hair is quite good, but there is dryness and short protruding hairs in different parts of the head. As you write, the hair was weak and seemed to break off and fall out. on the temples, forehead and even the back of the head. The doctor said to wear loose hair as much as possible, no tight hairstyles, freederm shampoo with zinc vitamins, food with certain vegetables and fruits (it is difficult with vegetables). And deal with frequent illnesses. The doctor said every ARVI with a temperature> 38.7 will affect the hair necessarily, antibiotics are the same. What else should you pay attention to? There were doctors, a lot of money was left by tests, ultrasound, various specialists, but the answer was never found. Since even in summer, during the long absence of ARVI, the hair is the same. The density is sufficient but many short ones stick out and dryness. Thanks!
Answer: Antibiotics are just used if there are acne on the head. This is an important treatment option. The problem is mechanical and gradually disappears. There is nothing to look for. There are usually no other reasons.
Question: Please specify what is meant by relaxants-hair straighteners? Electric styling appliances or hair straightening procedure (keratin / botox)?
Answer: These are chemicals that help stretch and straighten curly hair.
Question: I did bixiplasty 2 times - I straightened my hair, after the second time the hair just fell out terribly. A colleague, after keratin straightening with the composition of a well-known Japanese brand, also almost lost her hair, but she stubbornly denies that hair loss and keratin are interrelated. Is it from him?
Answer: Fallout can be attributed to both mechanical pulling and various chemicals. And if you do this at the same time, then the result exceeds all expectations. Hormones and some incomprehensible factors also interfere. Then on Instagram, you have to manually blur your hair (because the skin shines through the hair). The usual thing.
