Can a dermatologist help with my receding hairline?

I'm just wondering.





I know dermatologists specialize in skin but do they often help with hair, too?





I just want to go to a dermatologist and talk about my skin but my hair as well. Do most dermatologists specialize in hair as well? Or do they know about hair, etc?Can a dermatologist help with my receding hairline?
Yes they are the hair docs too...It's genetics and always comes from mother side of family.


Rogaine will help, but once you stop it stops growing and falls off again. No medicine for that besides vitamin biotin....that may help.Can a dermatologist help with my receding hairline?
If the receding hairline is caused by a skin disease like seborrhea, then yes, a dermatologist should be able to help you.


It is more likely that the cause is genetic, so take a look at the menfolk on your mother's side of your family. If any of them have receding hair lines, chances are that you are following the family trait.
Dermatologists do know about hair too. If your hair is just receding they can give you advice about what they can or cannot do about pattern baldness etc. . He will ask you questions to see if it's a genetic thing. If you hair is thinning all over you should think about seeing an endocrinologist, who deals in hormones. They can test for hormone deficiencies , cortisol levels or other indicators that might contribute to your hair condition. Before making an appointment with a dermatologist I would look them up online or call the office and see if the doctor either deals with or specializes in hair conditions. However, be on the alert for doctors who take advantage of people and tell you they can give you hair like you had when you were 16 years old. If you are concerned about costs then you should carefully check your insurance handbook regarding covered charges. It seems like your insurance would cover an appointment for a ';general dermatological examination and evaluation';. While there you could ask about your hair.
If the acidity of the scalp has changed (it can happen with age or various other causes), a dermatologist could be able to help. Your best course of action is probably to visit your regular physician so s/he can take a look and tell you where to go from there (dermatologist, plastic surgeon, etc).
