If you could speak to the woman you were before treatment, the one who was losing hope, what would you say? Maria’s answer is direct: she would hug her and remind her there is always hope. Perifollicular erythema and permanent hair loss from scarring can make patients feel like they have to hide. Maria describes what changed when she stopped hiding and started living again. She feels like a normal woman again. She feels free. She feels happy. She can swim again, dance again, and go back to the gym. This episode is about restoring the person, not just treating the scalp. Stay tuned for the full episode. #scalpscarring #hairloss #perifollicularerythema #scarringhairloss #medicaleducation #patientstory. Umar Hair & Skin Clinic located in Manhattan Beach, CA
