A member asked:
I went to my derm for shots for my thinning of the hair; i walked out with an rx for fluocinonide solution for my scalp.... why? is this to help grow

Sometimes topical: steroids can be used to decrease scalp inflammation and improve hair growth. But you should always talk with the doctor who performed the procedure and understand why it is being done. When you go back for your next set of shots, talk to the dermatologist
