First, we see a number of patients with psoriasis of the scalp, which leads to temporary hair loss. I mysel…Read More
As many of us have been at home focusing on isolating and keeping our distance, we have heard from a number of you asking about what kind of treatments you can do while at home.

Clumps of hair in the shower, hair all over the bathroom floor, kitchen floor, in the laundry, all over their clothes etc. Some of these patien…Read More
