Olux-E and Hair Regrowth?
My dermatologist prescibed Olux-E to treat my scalp for hair loss but I have seen no noticeable improvement in hair growth. What success stories are there for women that use Olux-E?
Olux-E is clobetasol propionate foam and this is a very potent topical steroid and it is used to treat a variety of severe skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, allergies, rash). Clobetasol reduces the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in skin conditions such as autoimmune diseases like psoriasis.
Steroids will have no impact on female genetic hair loss, but may work in specific alopecias that are autoimmune induced, like alopecia areata. Potent steroids placed on the skin will get absorbed by the body and any chronic use of this medication can impact the adrenal gland and produce side effects from their use. In other words, Olux-E will not work if you have genetic hair loss, but may work if it is alopecia areata. Since I don’t know enough about your case, I couldn’t tell you if it would work for you.
