Since this term comes up often on this forum and here in the US I have never heard of them--we go to dermatologist for scalp issues, i assumed it was a medical subspeciality in other countries. Turns out it is NOT always so. From the above website:
The Yellow Pages list ‘trichologists who are not Institute members. Why?
There is no system of registration or control of trichology in the UK. Therefore, the legal position is that anyone can set up and call himself or herself a trichologist, with no training, no qualifications, no experience and no ethics.
