This is kind of a two part question.
1. What kind of doctor should I go to for hair loss and scalp problems ( I am male) ?
2. I have a HMO (united health care). Can I directly go to the specialist or do I have to contact a general practitioner to get a referral ?
Thanks in advance.
Ok, got the answer (1), Dermatologist.

Endocrinologist
Consult an endocrinologist for hair loss resulting from hormonal imbalances. An imbalance is often suggested by the presence of hypertension, menopause, hyperthyroidism or high cholesterol.
Dermatologist
Dermatologists treat hair loss related to scalp infections (such as ringworm) or autoimmune conditions (such as alopecia). Cortisone injections, oral medication or light therapy may be prescribed to help generate speedy regrowth of hair.
Nutritionist
Poor nutrition is a leading factor in many hair loss cases. The standard American diet lacks sufficient amounts of supplements (like B-vitamins and essential fatty acids), which are needed to maintain healthy hair. Adjusting an improper diet can prevent future problems and improve overall quality of hair.
Homeopath
Consider homeopathy for a holistic response to hair loss. In addition to the physical contributors to thinning hair, a homeopath will address any emotional stress leading to hair loss. Homeopathic remedies are noninvasive and have no side effects.
Acupuncturist
Acupuncture will stimulate points of energy in the body that Eastern medicine associates with baldness. An acupuncturist will often combine bodywork with herbal remedies to restore lost hair and prevent future loss.
