I have used clobetasol off and on for years. I have never been advised that this med can thin the skin or cause hair loss. Just about 1 yr ago my scalp psoriasis became quite aggressive and I spent every evening slathering my scalp with the med. My hair thinned to about 1/2 of its normal thickness. Is it possible to somehow regrow the hair that I have lost?
Clobetasol is a powerful topical steroid that can thin the skin, thin the hair, and produce a variety of systemic problems from steroid overdose. Withdrawal from this medication can be a problem and you may need to be managed by a good doctor for the withdrawal process.
With respect to hair growth, if it does not regrow within one year, it will probably never grow back.
