Doctors Who Treat Alopecia
Primary care doctor
A primary care doctor, such as a family medicine doctor or internist, provides general medical care and helps manage overall health across many conditions. For alopecia, they can be a helpful first step to review your health history and medications, look for common underlying contributors (like thyroid disease, iron deficiency, autoimmune conditions, recent illness, or stress), order basic lab tests, and refer you to a dermatologist or other specialist for more targeted evaluation and treatment.
Doctors Who Treat Alopecia
Dermatologist
A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, and scalp. For alopecia, a dermatologist can identify the type and likely cause of hair loss, check for inflammation or scarring, and recommend treatments to help slow hair loss and support regrowth.

Supportive Therapist
Mental health professional
A mental health professional (such as a psychologist, licensed counselor/therapist, or psychiatrist) specializes in emotional well-being and conditions that affect mood, thoughts, and coping. For alopecia, they can help you manage the stress, anxiety, depression, or body-image challenges that may come with hair loss, teach coping skills, and — when appropriate — treat co-occurring mental health conditions, which can support overall quality of life while you pursue medical treatment for hair loss.
