Glossary Steroid Hormones

regulate various body functions by interacting with cell receptors

Steroid hormones are a class of hormones that are derived from cholesterol and include substances like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. They play crucial roles in regulating a variety of physiological processes, such as metabolism, immune response, and reproductive functions. These hormones can pass through cell membranes and bind to specific receptors inside cells, influencing gene expression and cellular activity.

learn Hydrocortisone

a synthetic cortisol used for anti-inflammatory effects

Can hydrocortisone be used together with other treatments like minoxidil or steroid injections? Clinicians do use a mild steroid cream to settle the scalp irritation minoxidil can cause, but no verified trial tests hydrocortisone added to minoxidil or to corticosteroid injections, and prolonged scalp use risks skin thinning — combining it is a decision to take with a prescriber.
