DERMATOLOGY · CONDITIONS

Hair Conditions

Whether you're noticing thinning, shedding, scalp irritation, or something new, our board-certified dermatologists are here to help you understand what's happening and what to do about it.

AAD - Hair conditions - Banner copy

What Are Hair Conditions?

Hair conditions affect the scalp, hair follicles, or the hair shaft itself, and they're more common than most people realize. Some cause gradual thinning over time. Others appear suddenly, trigger scalp discomfort, or affect the hair's texture, density, or growth cycle. Because hair and skin are so closely connected, dermatologists are uniquely equipped to evaluate what's going on below the surface, not just what you can see.

Hair loss, in particular, can feel isolating, but it's one of the most frequently treated concerns in dermatology. Many causes are highly treatable, especially when caught early. Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition like alopecia or something more temporary like postpartum shedding, the right diagnosis makes all the difference.

Our dermatologists take the time to understand your full history before recommending a care plan. We treat patients of all ages, hair types, and backgrounds, and we're committed to finding answers that work for your life.

Causes
Genetics
Family history is a leading driver of hair thinning and loss.
Hormonal Changes
Pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid conditions can disrupt hair growth.
Autoimmune Response
The immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles in some conditions.
Scalp Inflammation
Chronic irritation or infection interferes with healthy follicle function.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Low iron, zinc, or biotin can contribute to increased shedding.
Stress or Illness
Physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary but significant hair loss.
Hair Care Practices
Excessive heat, tension, or chemical treatments can damage follicles over time.
Symptoms
Gradual Thinning
Hair becomes noticeably finer or less dense over time.
Patchy Bald Spots
Circular or irregular areas of missing hair on the scalp or body.
Sudden Shedding
Large amounts of hair lost during washing, brushing, or styling.
Scalp Flaking
White or yellowish flakes on the scalp or in the hair.
Scalp Itching or Burning
Persistent irritation that may signal inflammation or infection.
Receding Hairline
Gradual movement of the hairline, often starting at the temples or forehead.
Hair Breakage
Brittle strands that snap easily rather than falling from the root.

Dr Niebyl and his staff were pleasant and professional. Dr Niebyl was attentive to what I said and asked. He is "old-school", meaning he actually listens and relies on his training and experience, and orders testing only when warranted. He noticed minor skin issues I hadn't mentioned and recommended OTC treatment. The only downside is that he is a solo practitioner who is nearing retirement age. I wonder who will replace him when that time comes. In the meanwhile, he is MY dermatologist.

Had a great experience with Dr Jonathan Smith (DO) Moh's surgeon. Ably assisted by surgical assistants Sofya, Vanessa, and Jayden. Smith is board-certifued Moh's and there are less than 3000 of those in the US. I think it's important you get someone with his level of expertise, education, experience and communication skills. Sofya, Vanessa and Jayden helped minimize pain throughout. Dr Smith personally called me to check up on my recovery and pain. My highest recommendation ✅.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Academic alliance! From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for, not just as a patient, but as a person. The front desk ladies are welcoming and incredibly attentive. Every step of the process, from check in to follow up, was handled with professionalism and kindness. What truly sets this practice apart is their compassion. Frankie took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain my condition in clear, reassuring terms, and create a personalized treatment plan that made me feel confident and supported. I never felt rushed or like just another appointment on the calendar. The entire team is thoughtful, respectful, and clearly passionate about helping people feel their best. Whether you're dealing with a complex skin condition or a routine check (even BOTOX!!!) you’ll be met with the same level of care and empathy. If you’re looking for expert dermatologic care delivered with heart, this is the place to go. I’m so grateful to have found them!

While surgery is never a fun experience, I can’t speak highly enough of SCSC. The receptionists worked with me on multiple occasions to ensure my paperwork was on file, and consistently provided clear guidance. When it came time for surgery, Dr. Montemarano’s skill was so apparent. It is rare to find a doctor with such a wonderful combination of medical talent and bedside manner. He went above and beyond (in what I’m sure was a long day for him) to perform my surgeries in a way that worked best for me. He made me feel comfortable, explained every step clearly, and even called to check up on me after surgery. Shreya was an absolute professional the entire day, and went out of her way multiple times to ensure my comfort and make my surgery a success. She fielded all my questions, even tracking down additional team members for information when needed. I’ve never felt like my health was taken so seriously, and really appreciate the entire team! Thanks for taking care of me.

The Mount Airy office of Anne Arundel Dermatology has been our Go-To place for several years. I have 2 girls 4 years apart and my youngest daughter recently asked to try some alternative acne treatments. We were very pleased to have not one but two different medications as options offered by Amy Spangler. We made sure to make a follow-up appointment right away so we can follow-up under the timeframe that she recommended. Appointments can seem difficult to find in under 3 weeks, but they are usually able to offer alternative appointment times if you call back within a week or so later. I highly recommend this practice which has had Dr. Germanas at the helm since my oldest daughter was an adolescent.

“I can’t say enough good things about Lina Weber! From the moment I walked into her office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Lina took the time to listen to all my concerns, explained every step of my treatment plan with clarity, and I saw visible improvements after just a few visits. The entire staff is friendly, and the clinic is spotless and modern. I highly recommend Lina Weber to anyone looking for top-notch dermatologic care!”

Dr. Andrew M. Operated on my face 10 years ago. Was extremely satisfied with him and the positive outcome. So happy to have the same outcome with the tumor removed from my ear by Dr. Chris K Nolan 2 years ago. Now on my 10th anniversary Dr. Andrew M. again did his magic and removed a serious Basal tumor from my scalp. Even called me later that evening to see how I was doing. Just a great surgeon and person.!

It is so refreshing to walk into an office where everyone from the receptionist to check out are happy, smiling and really care about your concerns. I wish that I could remember all of their names. Dr Zook is a wonderful doctor, easy to speak with and has a great memory and sense of humor. He even convinced me to stop doing DIY surgery and I shall. Although he complimented my skill. In the last year I have had over 100 appointments with various doctors but I enjoy these because everyone is so kind and concerned. When I told my oncologist that Dr Zook did my skin surgery he commented that I had chosen the best. I sincerely thank The Academic Academy of Dermatology for their treatment. All of the staff should be commended for their professionalism, dedication and happy smiles. They are a credit to the franchise and you will be happy with your results. I thank you for the kindness and rapid availability to get an appointment. As I stated, they are a credit to their profession.

See Ashley Pierson! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Walking into a dermatologist’s office for a second opinion on a cancer diagnosis from another dermatologist, I was understandably nervous. From the moment I walked through the door, everyone—from the front office staff to Ashley Pierson, PA—was absolutely wonderful. Ashley was kind, compassionate, thorough, and made me feel comfortable during what was a very stressful visit. That kind of care means more than people realize. My daughter was with me for the appointment and was so impressed with Ashley that she made an appointment for herself before we left! Needless to say, you have gained two loyal patients. We will both be coming here for our dermatology care going forward. Thank you, Ashley, and the entire staff for treating us with such kindness and providing such a great experience. It was sincerely appreciated!

ADDRESSING TOP HAIR CONCERNS

Your Hair Condition Questions, Answered

It's normal to shed 50–100 hairs per day. If you're noticing more significant shedding, thinning at the crown, a receding hairline, or bald patches, it's worth scheduling an evaluation with a dermatologist.

Dandruff is most often caused by an overgrowth of a naturally occurring fungus on the scalp or by seborrheic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It's very common and very treatable.

It depends on the cause and how early it's caught. Many forms of hair loss respond well to treatment, particularly when addressed before significant follicle damage has occurred. Early evaluation gives you the best chance at meaningful results.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. It typically causes patchy hair loss on the scalp, though it can affect other areas of the body. Treatment options are available and are most effective when started early.

Scalp flaking and itching are most commonly caused by dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, or dry skin. In some cases, they may signal a fungal infection. A dermatologist can identify the root cause and recommend the right treatment.

Yes. Lice infestations, known medically as pediculosis capitis, can be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist, particularly in cases that haven't responded to over-the-counter treatments or that have caused secondary scalp irritation.

Hormonal hair loss often presents as gradual thinning across the top of the scalp or a widening part. A dermatologist can assess your hair loss pattern and, when appropriate, coordinate lab tests to evaluate hormonal contributors.

Yes. A condition called telogen effluvium can occur following significant physical or emotional stress, leading to increased shedding typically 2 to 3 months after the stressor. In most cases, hair regrows once the underlying cause is addressed.
