Yea but it's gonna be pretty hard to get a referral out of them.

I've been waiting 6months to get one due to moderate acne.

If you go to your GP, make sure you lay it on thick... tell then it's affecting your mood, eating/sleeping etc.

My GP was very unhelpful, didn’t even look at my scalp. Said anyone can diagnose male pattern baldness, and that the NHS can’t help. He then printed off a helpful factsheet. Tbf, I think he’s right in a way though

My plan is when I finally get a referral for my acne...I'll get the dermatologist to look at my hair too ;)

Most GP's would give you a referral. My GP refused to prescribe me finasteride but referred me to a dermatologist that did prescribe.
