Trichology bridges the gap between dermatology and cosmetic care, addressing hair and scalp health with clinical precision. This book outlines the integration of trichology into dermatologic practice, including diagnostic techniques, treatment modalities, and patient counseling. It covers disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, and chronic dandruff alongside cosmetic issues like hair breakage and scalp sensitivity. Emphasis is placed on a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical treatments with cosmetic management. Practical frameworks and patient education tools support dermatologists in delivering comprehensive scalp and hair care.
