Re: hair loss?

Some dermatologists can't do a single thing. Be super careful as NOT all dermatologists are trained to deal with actual hair loss.

If the hair loss is due to something they can actually see occuring on your scalp they may be able to do something as dermotologists are basically skin specialists. if your hair loss is due to something internal then most of them aren't trained to deal with that. In that case you are better off getting a doctor to run blood tests or better still visit a Trichologist who only deals in hair/scalp issues.
