How to treat infections of the scalp

If you experience discomfort on your scalp, usually in the form of itchiness and dry flaking skin, any diagnosis of its causes, is best left to a dermatologist. Scalp-related conditions can be treated, but a proper diagnosis ensures an appropriate treatment plan. Disorders of the scalp can be uncomfortable and when visible to others, can interfere with a person’s self-esteem. The ideal solution is to seek a professional scalp consultation at Eudelo.

Different types of scalp disorders

There are a variety of scalp disorders, including those that are harmless and those that might compromise your health. This includes skin conditions such as:

  • Eczema – dry, itchy, scaly and inflamed skin which may weep during a flareup
  • Psoriasis – patches of skin covered in thick scales
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis – oily patches of skin covered with yellow or white scales
Types of Hair Loss
Scalp disorders also cover skin conditions that may lead to hair loss, such as alopecia (rather than male/female pattern baldness). Scalp issues may also be caused by fungal infections, ringworm or head lice, but if these conditions are not going away in the normal way, then a medical aesthetician or dermatologist may be needed. With several possible skin conditions that affect the scalp, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis to then have an expectation of receiving an appropriate treatment. Our medical dermatologists can prescribe medications and topical treatments that relieve and eliminate symptoms. Some conditions are contagious so it's always best to have them evaluated and treated immediately.

Treating the Scalp Factors that might lead to scalp disorders include infections, bacteria, genetics and your environment. Fortunately, most conditions of the scalp can be quickly treated by a qualified dermatologist. Eudelo offers scalp treatments from their London clinics by certified dermatologists and medical aestheticians.

Treatment begins with a diagnostic visit to identify the type of scalp condition you have. The dermatologist will then advise and prescribe relevant treatments.

Typically, this involves the application of topical creams, soaps or other products that target the symptoms and help clear them up. These prescription-strength hair and skin care preparations are specially designed with active ingredients that deal specifically with itching, flaking, fungal growth and other contributors to scalp disorders.

Because topical treatments are typically prescribed, they are first applied at the clinic and then there may be follow-up applications to apply at home.

Scalp treatment is important, particularly with contagious fungal growths, but also for your personal comfort and quality of life. A trained dermatologist can help diagnose the disorder and advise the best scalp treatment for your specific condition, so book your appointment with Eudelo to get seen quickly.

I have been going here for a few months now, and my skin has never looked better. I initially had a free consultation over the phone, and then a consultation with Meena in person, and I really appreciated that they included those for free to start to help you evaluate your current skincare needs and understand what skincare + treatments they offer that would be most suitable and useful for you.
