Can Cutivate 0.05% Cream Be Used To Treat Frontal Alopecia?
Good evening doctor, I would like to know if Cultivate 0,05% cream can also treat frontal alopecia. It was primarily used for beard alopecia ( pelade is french), and it worked very well. Beard hair did regrow but is now full and completely white. Can I use the cream for the front head (sides) in order to increase hair s density?

Hello,
Thanks for the concern.Cutivate cream 0.05% contain corticosteroids and is used for various inflammatory and pruritic disease of skin like various dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, psoriasis, etc.
It has to be used on face with special precautions. According to me it should not be used either for beard alopecia or frontal alopecia. So i dont recommend you to use this cream. Infact you can consult dermatologist and do accordingly.
Take care
