I see some are using hydrocortisone 1%. I was always under the impression it was a bad idea to bother with steroids, having a bad experience with prednisone once..

Apparently its been more used in Italy, even ok'd by derms, at 1% EOD?

Im also under the impression it is essentially cortisol, a stress hormone, and was under the impression that that is bad for hair.. So if its truly a hair saver, stops or slows shedding, and only makes certain regimens work, lets hash it out.

Who has what to report on hydrocortisone 1%?

I'm very interested in this. Hopefully others will offer feedback.
