How To Use DIPROFOS Injection Without Side Effects For Alopecia Areata?
I have alopecia areata. The only medicine that helps me is DIPROFOS Injection (Betamethasone). Each time I use it, my hair grows but it falls again in a month. I want to know how to use it gradually. How often and how much to prevent side effects and stop hair falling again.
Hi, welcome to HCM, In alopecia areata the treatment of choice is intralesional injection. Triamcinolone acetonide at the dose of 5 mg/ml is given at the distance of 1 cm each. The injection should be given by dermatologist as higher dose and inadequate technique may lead to atrophy and permanent damage of hair root. in addition of this take oral mini pulse of betamethasone. apply halobetasol lotion twice daily. take tab biotin 10 mg once daily. hope this is helpful. Thanks.
