Inflammation and Female Hair Loss

I recently saw this on the local news here in LA. It seems to be a finding/treatment for women. I was wondering if you knew any more information about this and if so, would these topical steroids work for men? NBC Los Angeles

Treating hair loss with steroids for “inflammation” is nothing new. People have tried applying steroid cream and doctors have tried INJECTING steroids to the scalp to encourage hair growth. In my opinion, these treatments do not work as I have seen patients who actually LOST hair from such treatment. Hair loss is genetic in most women and men. There are of course medical issues such as anemia, thyroid issues, etc… particularly more in female cases.
