Hair Disorders
Hair disorders can affect individuals of all ages and can have a significant impact on one’s appearance, confidence, and overall well-being. At Shillong Radioclinics, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma, MD, offers specialized care for a wide range of hair and scalp conditions using a holistic and medically sound approach. With over 16 years of dermatological experience, Dr. Sangma provides expert diagnosis and evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Hair disorders may arise from genetic, hormonal, nutritional, autoimmune, or environmental factors. Common conditions treated by Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma include androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), telogen effluvium (excessive hair shedding), alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and scalp infections such as fungal or bacterial folliculitis.
Androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss in both men and women, leads to gradual thinning of hair over time. Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma provides targeted treatments including topical medications, oral therapies, and procedural options such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, which stimulates hair regrowth by enhancing follicle health.
For sudden and excessive hair shedding, often caused by stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies, telogen effluvium is diagnosed and managed through dietary guidance, supplements, and scalp care routines that help restore hair volume and strength.
Alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes sudden patchy hair loss, requires timely intervention. Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma offers a comprehensive plan including corticosteroid therapies and immune-modulating treatments to encourage regrowth and reduce recurrence.
Children and adults may also face scalp infections, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis, which cause itching, flaking, and inflammation. These conditions are managed effectively with antifungal treatments, medicated shampoos, and personalized scalp care regimens.
In addition to medical treatments, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma educates patients on proper hair care practices, identifies harmful habits or product usage, and supports long-term scalp and hair health through lifestyle recommendations.
Each patient at Shillong Radioclinics receives a thorough consultation to assess the root cause of their hair concerns. Investigations such as scalp examinations, blood tests, or dermatoscopy may be conducted for accurate diagnosis. Based on the findings, Dr. Sangma formulates a tailored treatment plan that is safe, effective, and results-driven.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic hair thinning, sudden hair fall, or scalp discomfort, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma is here to help you regain healthy, strong, and beautiful hair with compassionate and expert care.
