Is EMU Oil Advisable For Chronic Telogen Effluvium And Cicatricial Alopecia?
I have been diagnosed w/ chronic telogen effluvium and concurrent lymphocytic cicaricial alopecia. The Dr prescribed clobetasol solution 0.05. I understand this is a steroid and I do not want to use it. She said it could cause glaucoma. I have researched this condition and found that EMU oil is good for this. What do you suggest I do NATURALLY?

Hi,
It is difficult to grow new hair in cicatricial alopecia. To maintain the growth of hairs on scalp, apply almond oil on the scalp. Tab biotin and cap vitamin C may be taken. Do the herbal shampoo daily. Improve the diet. You may take nutritional supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
