I think long term use of topical steroids is supposed to be pretty bad news for the hair.

 

[CCS]

I read somewhere it can do some bad stuff. I forgot what. I think it was abcesses in the scalp, though maybe that was asprin that does that.

 

[iwantperfection]

some people have reported good regrowth using the cream. it inhibits dht like nizoral i think.
im guna give it a go. guna use it every other day.

So you're willing to to sacrifice long term damage for short term "possible" regrowth?

????

i have done research and its safe on scalp. i wont be using everyday. im still an nw1 so im using the smallest bit along hairline to c if i can strengthen it. im willing to be guinea pih on this one.

How

people report long term sideeffects and not just the odd bit of incompetence. secondly long term effects of a drug can never be truely known. finally my biggest point.. when taking oral finasteride we know it reduces enlargened prostates. well, if a man contracts prostate cancer the usual tell tale signs r not apparent as the prostate Does not enlargen and cause adverse effects. hence no symptoms and no early detection. my friend is a gp and told me how their practise does not perscribe finasteride due to this prospect.

what does "enlargened" mean?

 

[iwantperfection]

finasteride is used to treat large prostates.it shrinks them to normal size. when developed p cancer the p gland gets big causing signs which alert a person to it. on finasteride tho it wnt so in effect finasteride can mask this disease. bigger risk for older age bracket.

it will not stop me taking finasteride i might add. and in regards to the hc cream. nothing in the world of hair loss is forever. i will give it a go. in moderation

adieu

oh oh oh oh....Enlarged you meant..Now I follow.

Well...you are talking about such a tiny amount of people and Finasteride has been around for a very long time.

 

[iwantperfection]

Of course...you're right....I'm trying to find you a article on long term use of steroids on the scalp but no luck...

[Cassin]

whats long term here though?

I can't find the write up a doctor did so I would be fair for me to say since I can't back it up with proof...and I am fuzzy on the memory since its been so long.
