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.
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.
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.
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 hairloss. You may start to use minoxidil %5 to thicken the crown area and stop hairloss.You would better planning to have anexam at hair loss expert for hair restoration surgery when you felluncomfortable about hair styling or total loss of hair..
No, betnovate scalp lotion (containing betamethasone valerate) is not the answer to male pattern balding. Rarely, a weak corticosteroid (such as triamcinolone acetonide) is combined with minoxidil if someone has significant scalp inflammation as part of their genetic hair loss. Not all physicians do this. In summary, the sole use of betamethasone valerate scalp lotion (Betnovate etc) is not appropriate for use in the treatment of male balding.
Your biggest enemy is the progressive thinning leading to abalding pattern that is not evident at this point in time. The degree ofthinning that you are experiencing would suggest that you should see adoctor who most likely will get Bulk Measurements of your hair todetermine the degree of the thinning that you are presently having. If thediagnosis is early genetic hair loss (the most common cause of hair lossin young men), then the best treatment would be the drug finasteride whichis highly effective in men of your age and may not only stop the hair lossbut possibly reverse it. If you are developing a more advanced baldingpattern the best test to get will determine the Bulk Measurements of yourhair and this will show, over a one-year time frame, how effective thetreatment will be. Once you know this information, then you and yourdoctor need to develop a MASTER PLAN which will define what you need to doover the years to come.
There's some stuff out there that may give you limited results, but they should grow back over the next few months without any intervention. I'd suggest just waiting it out.
None of these are backed by solid evidence. I would suggest you invest the money you will spend on these on a consulration with a hair transplant plastic surgeon who can give you advice.
