Diseases of the Hair and Scalp, 3rd Edition

This book presents a practical clinical account of the hair and its disorders. It is hoped that it will be of value not only to dermatologists, but also to other physicians who wish to understand the significance of changes in their patients' hair. The comparative physiology of hair growth is described because it sheds light on clinical situations in man. Diseases of both the hair and scalp are included since they are so often associated with some disturbance of hair growth.
