Hi, I was born with a mild case of ichthyosis and when I run my comb through my hair I get flakes of skin coming off my scalp

Question:

Hi, I was born with a mild case of ichthyosis and when I run my comb through my hair I get flakes of skin coming off my scalp. I was wondering with this disease, will it block the hair follicle from transplanting into the scalp and would you be able to perform such a transplant with my disease? Thank you.

Answer:

Patients can receive a hair transplant with a majority of different dermatologic conditions. It is always best if the condition can be better controlled with medication, but if not, the procedure can still be performed. Posted by Jeffrey S. Epstein, MD, FACS
