In addition to the skin itself, dermatology also covers skin appendages such as hair and nails—both fall within the scope of dermatologic care. The field of dermatology is broad, encompassing all exposed areas of the body from head to toe. If you experience hair loss, you should consult a dermatologist. Upon your visit, the dermatologist may conduct examinations to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss.
