General information only
The information on this website is for general information only. It is not medical advice, and it can’t diagnose or treat your condition. Hair and scalp problems are individual and often have more than one cause, so please don’t rely on this website alone to make decisions about your health.
Not for emergencies
This website is not for urgent or emergency care. If you are seriously unwell, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent advice, contact NHS 111 or your GP.
When to see your GP
Please see your GP if your hair loss is sudden or spreading quickly, if you feel unwell, have lost weight without trying, or have a painful, swollen or weeping scalp, or a fever. You don’t need a GP referral to see me, and I am always happy to work alongside your GP.
