A member asked:
What are the chemical names of steroids that can be injected into the scalp for androgenic alopecia in males?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so much: For androgenic alopecia, steroid scalp injections aren't really used. There is some early data for platelet rich plasma scalp injections. Steroids like triamcinolone are most commonly injected into scalp lesion(s) of alopecia areata - an immune form of hair loss.
