 Scalp Extender
To assess shrinkback of bald scalp, scalp was marked with temporary tattooed points between the rows of hooks for three patients.
Scalp extension appears to be a useful adjunctive technique in hair replacement and reconstructive surgery, and has distinct advantages over standard scalp reduction and tissue expansion techniques.
The morphologic deformation of the scalp observed with expanders, which is absent with extenders, represents the fundamental difference between the two techniques.

 Scalpicin, Body and Scalp Stress
While it may seem serious to those who experience it, dandruff is not an inflammatory skin condition, as psoriasis is, but rather a general flakiness and itching of the scalp that is more embarrassing and annoying than serious, and results from the normal process of shedding the skin from the scalp.
One of the major causes of this general scalp itch, or dandruff, can be using the wrong shampoo or conditioner, and using it too often.
Many people choose a hair product that is too harsh for their scalp, and some can experience a skin reaction to the chemicals in the shampoo or conditioner.

 Scalp Acupuncture - George T. Lewith M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. - HealthWorld Online
The principle of scalp acupuncture is very straightforward; the aim is to stimulate the diseased area of the brain in order to facilitate a return of function in that area.
Do not start scalp needling for at least a week after the stroke; scalp acupuncture increases the blood flow to the damaged area of the brain and local cerebral bleeding may be increased if it is used too early.
When using scalp therapy it is vital to localize the scalp area accurately.

 National Psoriasis Foundation: Scalp psoriasis—treatment
Mild scalp psoriasis also may respond to treatment with antifungal shampoos such as Nizoral, a prescription shampoo that helps reduce yeast organisms.
