Scalp RenewalWhen to stop self-managing and see a clinician
3 min read
Red flags that mean your next step is an appointment, not a stronger regimen.
Book an appointment if you see
Shiny, smooth patches without visible follicle openings, or scalp pain, burning and persistent redness.
Sudden patchy loss, loss of eyebrows or body hair, or shedding accompanied by fatigue, weight change or menstrual changes.
No stabilisation after six consistent months on a regimen.
What to bring
Your photo timeline, your assessment summary, your check-in history and any recent labs. A dated timeline changes the quality of the consult substantially.
