A member asked:
Which is better for baldness due to alopecial: minoxidil or clobetasol propionate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: If its normal male or female pattern hair loss, then Minoxidil is better. But if the hairloss is coming from an inflammatory condition like lupus or lichen planopilaris, then clobetasol is better.
