Conditions
Start with the problem, not the procedure. Each page covers what the condition is, what it is most often mistaken for, how it is diagnosed, and what actually works.
Hair
Hair loss in men
Pattern hair loss, receding hairline, thinning crown.
Hair loss in women
Diffuse thinning and a widening parting — and why blood tests come first.
Finasteride and dutasteride
Honest answers about side effects, and what is actually established.
Alopecia areata
Sudden round patches. Autoimmune, and often self-limiting.
Acne
Acne
Breakouts at any age, and why the type changes the treatment.
Acne scars
Pitted and rolling scars — which type you have decides what works.
Pigmentation
Melasma
Symmetrical brown patches. Controlled rather than cured.
Pigmentation and uneven tone
Dark patches, tanning, dark circles and the metabolic ones.
Long-term skin disease
Psoriasis
Immune-driven, not an infection, and not contagious.
Eczema
Itchy, dry, inflamed skin — and the treatment that is routinely underdone.
Vitiligo
White patches. Not leprosy, and not caused by any food.
Fungal infections
Ringworm that keeps returning, and the reason it usually does.
Other
Private and intimate concerns
Genital and intimate skin, discussed matter-of-factly.
PCOS skin and hair
Jawline acne, facial hair, scalp thinning and dark neck folds.
Not sure which one fits?
That is normal, and conditions that look alike are often different conditions. If you have already been treated once or twice without improvement, a second opinion is usually more useful than reading further.
