Scalp Conditions We Treat at Dermessence

Dandruff (Pityriasis Capitis)

Mild to severe dandruff treated with prescription antifungal shampoos, scalp serums, and topical treatments. Persistent dandruff that doesn't respond to pharmacy shampoos requires proper medical evaluation.

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

Chronic inflammatory scalp condition with severe flaking, itching, and greasy scales. Requires antifungal and anti-inflammatory treatment. Often extends to eyebrows, nasolabial folds, and chest. Managed with prescription therapy and lifestyle advice.

Scalp Psoriasis

Autoimmune condition causing thick silver-white plaques on the scalp with intense itching and inflammation. Requires prescription corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, or biologics for severe cases. Expert management by Dr. Sukhmani.

Tinea Capitis (Fungal Scalp Infection)

Fungal infection of the scalp causing patchy hair loss, scaling, and itching. More common in children but occurs in adults too. Treated with oral and topical antifungal medications.

Folliculitis (Scalp)

Bacterial infection of hair follicles causing painful red pustules on the scalp. Often mistaken for acne. Treated with appropriate antibiotics and hygiene protocols. Chronic folliculitis can cause scarring hair loss.

Scalp Eczema & Dermatitis

Allergic or irritant contact dermatitis from hair dyes, shampoos, or other products causing scalp itching, redness, and hair loss. Identifying and eliminating the trigger alongside anti-inflammatory treatment gives good results.

Scalp Treatment Procedures at Dermessence

Scalp Dermoscopy (Trichoscopy)

Non-invasive digital examination of the scalp under magnification. Identifies folliculitis, seborrhoeic deposits, perifollicular inflammation, fungal infection patterns, and scalp psoriasis features. Essential for accurate diagnosis.

Scalp Peel Therapy

Salicylic acid scalp peels remove thick scales, sebum buildup, and dead cells from the scalp. Particularly effective for seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis between medical treatments.

Scalp Mesotherapy

Targeted microinjections of anti-inflammatory agents, growth factors, and vitamins into the scalp. Reduces inflammation, improves scalp circulation, and supports follicle recovery in inflammatory scalp conditions.

Prescription Medicated Shampoo & Home Regimen

Customized prescription shampoos (antifungal, anti-inflammatory, keratolytic) and home care protocols to maintain results between clinic visits and manage chronic scalp conditions long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions — Scalp Treatment Chandigarh

What scalp conditions does Dermessence treat?
Dermessence treats a complete range of scalp conditions: dandruff (pityriasis capitis), seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, tinea capitis (fungal infection), folliculitis, alopecia areata, scalp eczema, and chronic itching/inflammation that causes hair loss.
Is dandruff a serious condition?
Mild dandruff is common and manageable with appropriate shampoos. However, severe dandruff (seborrhoeic dermatitis) involves significant scalp inflammation and flaking that causes itching, secondary infection, and hair loss. Persistent dandruff that does not respond to anti-dandruff shampoos needs a dermatologist evaluation to identify the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
Can scalp problems cause hair loss?
Yes. Scalp inflammation from seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, fungal infections, and folliculitis directly damages hair follicles and causes hair loss. Treating the underlying scalp condition is essential before hair regrowth treatments can be effective.
What is the difference between dandruff and scalp psoriasis?
Dandruff causes fine, oily white-yellowish flakes with mild itching. Scalp psoriasis causes thick, silvery-white scales with intense itching, redness, and well-defined plaques extending beyond the hairline. Dermoscopy and clinical examination by Dr. Sukhmani differentiates these conditions accurately for appropriate treatment.
How long does scalp treatment take?
Mild dandruff responds to medicated shampoos in 2–4 weeks. Seborrhoeic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, and fungal infections require 4–8 weeks of medical treatment for significant improvement. Chronic conditions may need longer-term management with periodic follow-ups.
