Regular Member Ralph kaka Posted May 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 Did anyone use a steroid cream to reduce scalp redness after HT from week 1 onwards? Like betamethasone? Is this necessary or does your body just take care of the redness and inflammation on its own? i finished a course of oral prednisone for a week but was curious if anything else needed with steroids. thanks all!

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted May 5, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 i personally am unaware of anything that will reduce the post HT redness. I have always just let it slowly fade over time. I recommend just telling everyone you are close to that you have gotten a HT (on an as needed basis of course). If ppl know you have gotten a HT, you won't have to worry about the redness. The redness in general is almost impossible to hide completely so I recommend just "owning it" and not really making a big deal about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steroid cream thins your skin, and I don't think it's a good idea to do that on your scalp. I was told to not put anything on my scalp and let it heal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
