At Park Slope Dermatology, our dermatologist addresses diseases of the hair and scalp. She combines both medical and cosmetic treatments to achieve maximum results. During consultation, an extensive medical history is obtained before therapy is initiated. Common problems seen are hair bumps at the nape of neck seen in black men, traumatic alopecia caused by chemical perms and certain hair-styles, alopecia areata, balding at temples and crown in men and women, and flaky and itchy scalp which can lead to hair loss.
