Scalp Concerns
Oiliness, dryness, flaking and irritation can affect scalp comfort and may occur alongside thinning or shedding. MH Clinic starts with a hair and scalp assessment before discussing suitable care.
The foundation
Oiliness, dryness, flaking, irritation or buildup can change how the scalp feels and looks. These symptoms can have different causes, so the right care depends on what is found during assessment.

Scalp concerns
Common questions about scalp concerns, assessment and next steps.
Some scalp conditions can occur alongside shedding or hair loss, but hair loss can also have genetic, hormonal, medical or other causes. An assessment helps determine whether the scalp is the main concern or one part of the picture.
No. Flaking can have different causes, including dandruff and other scalp conditions. An assessment may help identify what is contributing, especially if the flaking is persistent or comes with redness, itching or irritation.
Not always. If thinning or shedding is driven by another cause, scalp care alone may not address it. MH Clinic assesses the hair-loss pattern, scalp and relevant history before discussing suitable next steps.
Consider medical assessment if scalp symptoms are persistent, worsening, painful, very itchy, red or swollen, or if they occur with sudden or patchy hair loss.
