Can Clobex and Luxiq Regrow My Hair Faster?
(female)
I recently had a huge knot in my hair instead of waiting for my stylist to look at it I slowly ended up having a huge bald spot the size of a grapefruit in the back. I have gone to a dermatologist to get some clobex shampoo and luxiq foam and I was wondering how much faster does this help your hair grow than if I used nothing at all.
Clobex (clobetasol propionate) is used to treat psoriasis. Luxiq foam (betamethasone) is a corticosteroid and also used in the treatment of psoriasis. I don’t know why you’d be prescribed these with the goal of growing your hair faster.
I have no clue what is causing your hair loss (was it just ripped out??), but perhaps you should ask your dermatologist for a diagnosis of what you are attempting to treat. Find out the success rate of such treatments and get realistic expectations.
Claudiu-
I appreciate the sarcasm, but perhaps you should read the question I was asked. She said she had a knot in her hair that suddenly was a bald spot. Did the hair get pulled out? If so, that’s not a disease. There’s nothing in the email that suggests alopecia areata.
More importantly I love how we rely on wikipedia for our trusted source of knowledge and medical diagnosis. (my bit of sarcasm)
