Trichotillomania – Overview | Dr Batra’s™ Homeopathy in Dubai

1
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a condition that causes hair
loss in patches. In this condition, the hair does
not fall out on its own, but is pulled out by
the patient in response to some emotional stress.
It is a type of impulse disorder. Just as some
people have a tendency to bite their ?ngernails
or pick their skin when stressed, patients of
trichotillomania end up pulling their own hair
out. Visit - https//www.drbatras.ae/hair-conditi

Treatment approach at Dr Batras for
Trichotillomania
Treatment approach at Dr Batras Step 1 First
Consultation At your first consultation our
doctors will spend 30-45 minutes with you. The
questions asked extend well beyond the immediate
problem or physical symptoms, and take into
account your medical history, lifestyle,
prevalence of hair loss in your family and any
other stress factors that can lead to hair loss.
The information provided is vital for us to
understand the root cause of your hair loss and
suggest customized treatment that best suits your
problem. Step 2 Medical Diagnosis Our doctors
conduct non-invasive video-microscopy test, which
magnifies the hair follicle and scalp up to 200
times. It helps us identify the condition
thickness of hair strands, density of hair on the
scalp as well as condition of your scalp. If
required blood tests are recommended to confirm
the diagnosis.
