Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been given Betnovate to treat Alopecia whilst I await a blood test, I don t have any redness, soreness or flaky scalp so I cant understand why I would be given this as a treatment is it likely to work some web sites say it can actually in fact cause hair loss and bald patches ?
HI Well come to HCM If this is alopecia then steroid wont work here, you have not mentioned your age and gender here, if this is male-patron- baldness then nothing much can be done here, in all the cases of hair fall "Minoxidile 5 % solution can be used but this is not also cure for this but this could prevent the hair fall for some time in male person, hope this information helps, take care.
