learn Hydrocortisone

Mild corticosteroid used on the skin and scalp

Is hydrocortisone effective for stopping inflammation that blocks hair growth? Sources describe hydrocortisone as a short-course treatment for scalp inflammation such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or eczema, and no verified trial tests it as a hair-regrowth treatment; the corticosteroids used for alopecia areata are the potent prescription ones, and prolonged use of any topical steroid on the scalp risks skin thinning.
Can hydrocortisone be used together with other treatments like minoxidil or steroid injections? If minoxidil solution irritates the scalp, the cause may be irritation, seborrhoeic dermatitis or an allergy to an ingredient, so it is worth having a doctor or pharmacist look before adding a steroid. No verified trial tests hydrocortisone alongside minoxidil or corticosteroid injections, and prolonged scalp use risks skin thinning.

learn Azelaic Acid

azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work. For alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.
