learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps? Fluocinolone is a prescription topical corticosteroid used for inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and scarring alopecias. It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.

learn Hydrocortisone
