Betnovate N scalp lotion for MPB(male pattern baldness), will it help? (Photo)

Question

I am 22 yo and i was wondering if using betnovate n scalp lotion would stop my MPB and make my existing hairs thicker. I've used minoxidil , sadly for me it did'nt work.

Munir Somji, BSc, MBBS · Answer

In short the answer to whether betnovate works in MPB is no. There are many other forms of FDA approved non surgical treatments for hair loss: minoxidil (must be used for a 6 month period), finasteride and low level laser. PRP treatments have also shown some promise and combining treatments results in a synergistic effect. Please note that it is difficult to say whether 'minoxidil doesn't work' as it may be slowing the rate of your hair loss or even stopping further hair loss. Certainly giving finasteride a thought would be wise.

Greg Williams, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

There is no evidence to suggest that topical steroids can slow down or stop the progression of male pattern hair loss. If topical minoxidil has not worked you should consider oral finasteride as long as you are happy with the possible side effect profile.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

No, it is highly unlikely any sort of lotion will help your MPB. If Minoxidil didn't work for you I would talk to a doctor about other options, Finasteride could probably help you but without knowing the full details of your situation it's hard to say.

Robert Nettles, MD · Answer

It is not possible for non-FDA approved medicines to penetrate the scalp and stop the DHT that causes androgenetic alopecia.  Even minoxidil which is FDA approved only works for 20-30% of people who try it .
The only effective treatments both stop the DHT that causes hair loss and include a hair regrowth stimulant that is more effective that minoxidil.
Please go and see a hair regrowth specialist doctor.

No , betnovate scalp lotion does not work for hair loss. But procapil and minoxidil containing serums work well on  AGA caused hair loss. PlantStemCell Technology Malus Domestica (Swiss Magic Apple Stem Cell) , AnaGain, GSP-T (Procyanidins + Tocopherol), Avenacare (Oat Beta Glucan) containing serums are also effective on hair loss.Most probably you have a androgenetic type hair
loss. You may start to use minoxidil %5 to thicken the crown area and stop hair
loss.You would better planning to have an
exam at hair loss expert for hair restoration surgery when you fell
uncomfortable about hair styling or total loss of hair..
