hair loss, please help! (Scalp Inflammation, Irritations & Dermatitis)

posted by Glimmer2234, 07.04.2008, 21:31

I am in the NYC area as well. I saw Dr. Bergman (endocrinologist) who sent me for every blood/urine test possible. Then, he referred me to Dr. Reed in NYC (dermatologist). I liked both a lot. Reed doesn't take insurance but specializes in hair loss. Although I am still figuring this out, I would reccomend both.

Best of luck!
