Dermatology Department
If you are experiencing excessive hair loss, you should visit a dermatology department. A dermatologist specializes in skin conditions, including hair loss. They can diagnose the underlying cause of your hair loss, recommend treatments, and assess your overall health. In some cases, they may refer you to other medical specialists such as endocrinologists, trichologists, or scalp therapists.
Your dermatologist may conduct a physical exam, review your medical history, and order tests such as a scalp biopsy or a blood test to determine the cause of your hair loss. After the diagnosis, they can recommend treatments or lifestyle changes to help manage the problem.
Treatments
Treatments for hair loss depend on the underlying cause. Your dermatologist may recommend medications such as minoxidil or finasteride, which can help regrow hair. Other treatments may include low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or hair transplants.
Lifestyle Changes
Your dermatologist may also recommend lifestyle changes that can help reduce hair loss. These may include avoiding extreme hair styling, using gentle hair products, and reducing stress. Additionally, eating a healthy diet with plenty of protein and vitamins can help promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.
If you are experiencing excessive hair loss, contact your dermatologist for an appointment. They will be able to diagnose the underlying cause of your hair loss and recommend treatments or lifestyle changes that can help.

"I have been noticing excessive hair loss for the last few months and I'm not sure which department I should go to for help."
The best place to start is with your primary care physician. They can assess your overall health to determine if there is an underlying cause for your hair loss and can provide referrals to specialized departments, such as dermatology or endocrinology, depending on your individual needs. Additionally, you can research providers in your area who specialize in hair loss, as they may be able to provide additional resources and treatment options.
