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.

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.

I had an appointment with Julie the first of this month. I have been seeing her for years now, and have never been let down. I went to the office in Rockingham, and cannot say enough good things about all the staff. But, somebody needs to take that "burnie" thing away from her. She came in the exam room with that thing strapped to her waist and hanging low. She drew it, burned me, and had in back on her side before I knew what was going on......... I had great care and enjoyed myself a lot, cannot say that about many Doctors office. Thanks to everyone there and keep up the good job. Fred

Synopsis - Amazing staff made this an amazing experience. I went in with some skin concerns that I had been reluctant to get taken care of. Finally broke down and set up an appointment online, got the vast majority of my paperwork and questionnaires out of the way online, and booked it. To be able to get all of those things out of the way ahead of heading to the appointment was so nice. The staff at the center were all amazing. From the wonderful receptionists, to Dari (sorry if I spelt it wrong) who was my assistant and Suzanne Craven who took care of my skin issues--it was amazing. They were thoughtful, listened, provided their expertise and advice, and cared. I truly cannot say enough good things about this whole experience for me. It'll be the only place I ever go to for anything dermatology related in the future, no doubt about it. 5 Cleared Up Stars out of 5!

I have almost never had such a wonderful experience at a doctor's office. Lina Weber was kind, funny, very knowledgeable, and I can tell she goes above and beyond often.. she certainly did for me. I have been scared to DEATH over something and my primary sent me to a dermatologist which really wasn't even the right place for me. Luckily, I also had a Dermatology need as well so I can continue going back, but for this other issue she took initiative to send an order for me to have further testing done and offered to go over the results with me and get me to the right doctor if needed. Luckily, it ended up being nothing horrid. She made me feel heard. That was huge. I despise going ro doctors because I feel I get the brush off often but Lina Weber is one of the good ones. I would recommend this location to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much Dr. Weber!

Overall great experience. The service they use to book appointments and acquire documents online works fast and smoothly. Front desk was warm and welcoming. I waited about ten minutes which was no big deal. The physician quickly assessed my concerns and made sure I understood her explanation/diagnosis. I booked another appointment as a follow up and was on my way. My only suggestion would be maybe some light music playing in the waiting room. A little too quiet in there:) They offer a wide variety of services and this review was only for a skin cancer check.

You know those medical practictioners who run their office poorly, the waits are long, and the staff treat you like you've invaded their personal space and you're dumb for being there? That is NOT this place. 2 days ago, I found a spot of concern on my arm. I got an appointment within 2 days. I walked in and waited max 10 minutes. My PA (Anjana Patel) listened to my concern, did a couple of feel tests, thought it was probably nothing but since it was a little funny, she biopsied it on the spot. Then she asked if I wanted a whole skin check since I never had had one, which she performed with compassion and competence. She was amazing, and her assistant, Grace, was wonderful too. The office staff was similarly kind and got me in and out quickly. It's obviously a nice place to work, because the office staff was smiling and joking with each other while also performing their tasks with professionalism. Could not recommend more highly. 10/10.

I am totally satisfied with his medical examinations. However, trying to get in touch by phone became a horror show since he became part of the larger group. The first call said there was a 39 minute wait time. I was able to leave a message to be called later. I was unable to answer the return call, but a message was left on my machine. Unfortunately, the message started skipping and I could not hear all of the new phone number to be called. My second call soon got the recorded message announcing the wait time as one minute. It then kept repeating the one minute wait time message over and over and over. After 5 minutes of this, I hung up. On my third try, the recording said over and over and over that the wait time was the 8 minutes. After getting frustrated again, I was about to hang up when suddenly the call was answered--by a lady who sounded very, very bored with her job.

I loved them! They listened to everything that was bothering me and were able to treat everything while I was already there. That’s exactly the kind of experience you hope for. I’ll definitely be back if I ever have any skin issues in the future. On top of that, everyone was just so kind and welcoming. I’d honestly go back just to talk to them! 😊

I always am seen at my appointment time and never wait more than a couple of minutes to see Dr. Dhar after I am taken to the exam room. Dr. Dhar is so pleasant and even better is very thorough in his exams. He caught a very early melanoma I hadn't even noticed and is very gentle. I wish all my medical providers were like him! The office staff is also very good. I highly recommend this office.

Hayley Loiselle is an outstanding provider at the Anne Arundel Dermatology Stevensville office. She has identified basal cell cancer twice in my yearly skin checkups, and facilitated two Mohs procedures with successful results. She has my unqualified recommendation.

I have had a series of needs for Mho’s procedures on the top of my head and arms. Being the person I am, I’m always asking questions. I want to know detail. The difference with this company / office in Newnan Georgia is that they take the time to answer. Polite and with understanding . Of course, the procedures are done with top notch medical care and concern for my comfort ( in my case pain management due location). I understand the company has offices in many parts of the United States and if they are anything like the Newnan staff, I would say unequivocally……. go knock on their door. Thomas S. Drolet

After my Primary Dr. told me I needed to get some moles checked by a dermatologist, I begrudgingly made the appointment and showed up. In general I don’t like anything to do with medical exams so I walked in with a less than excited attitude but everybody in the office was super friendly. The PA (Colella) had a professional and great bedside manner which made the visit easy. I was extremely uncomfortable (feeling awkward) about the visit but she was very professional, friendly and asked lots of questions during the exam so I forgot about how uncomfortable I was as soon as the exam started and then it was all done with all clear results. Thank you very much for making an “awkward” visit pretty quick and very easy. I would highly recommend this office to anybody that needs to get skin their checked and hates the idea of being so closely examined. 😃🇺🇸

Dr. Montemarano is the best. His kind and gentle nature has such a calming effect. His thorough explanations, care, and concern are the reason I looked him up when I needed Mohs.

Keonna at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She made the check-in process easy and was just a pleasure to interact with. Dr. Becker was also wonderful! He was very friendly, personable, and talkative in the best way...not overwhelming or annoying at all. He actually took the time to talk with me and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed.

Whitney NP is amazing. Whitney always makes you feel like you are just not another patient. She really is very concerned about your diagnosis. She'll always tell us call me if you have any questions or concerns. We had issues with the pharmacy at the beginning of going to Miss Whitney and is she fixed that problem right away . You can tell she is on your side and she will help you in any way she can. She is very caring and knowledgeable. Her male nurse I wished I knew his name. But we had him the last two visits to the office. He is a ray of sunshine. He makes you feel very comfortable. And you can tell he really loves his job. I have worked in the healthcare for years. And sometimes it's hard to fake a smile or to be happy. We look forward to seeing Whitney and her nurse when we go to the office because it is such a great experience. We really love this place they are awesome and they really do care about their patients and their outcome thank you so much Marie Sartin

I have been going to the Anne Arundel Dermatology Clinic in Hagerstown for about 8 months. From the moment you walk in you can tell they care. The lobby is spotless.! Proceed to the front desk and you will meet some really nice, and professional receptionists. I have never had a moment where I thought someone was being rude or impatient checking me in, or checking me out after an appointment and scheduling the next. I see PA-C Ashley Kum. SHE. IS AMAZING.!.!.! She is so professional, polite and kind. She evidently loves her position there and what she does. I have never seen her without her smile. It makes a patient feel more relaxed knowing their provider is happy and in a good mood.! I've told my mother about my experiences there and now she wants to come see Ms Ashley Kum and get some things taken care of. I only gave 5 stars because that's the most I could give. But, this clinic should be getting 10 out of 10's from everyone.!!! Thank you soooo much for all you've done to improve my Quality of Life.!!! May The Lord bless each and every one of you.!!!

Beautiful skin is a must have , so if you’re looking to be your best version of yourself with clear beautiful and glowing skin, you want to consider coming in to see a provider here. My provider Ms. Collella, is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about skin care and anything else related. I’m very impressed by her, and I am extremely grateful to have found a professional that does such a phenomenal job that strangers stop me to say how much they love my skin, and how it glows. People ask what I use and want to know everything about my skin care routine. My routine starts here for sure. Thank you for your service. Also, the front of the house staff is very kind and personable. I appreciate that very much. It feels good when you’re an actual person not just another patient. They have been so accommodating to me over the years and it’s been magnificent. The best thing is that if I have any questions or concerns I can send a message to the office and I know with great confidence that it will be addressed quickly, as they always are. Thank you again everyone for all you do. Because we only feel as beautiful as we look. 👀

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.
