Cortisone Injections in the scalp?

[Elissa]

Just curious is any of you have tried them and if they work. Also-- are they suitable treatment for any type of hair loss or only certain types?

(At Thanksgiving dinner last night, my cousin's girlfriend who is in med school studying to become a dermatologist mentioned them to me and I hadn't heard of them. Yes-- the topic of hair loss even comes up at Thanksgiving dinner:eek:)

Hi Elyssa,
I think I read somewhere on here that someone tried it and it worked for a while then stopped. Cortisone kind of scares me. I think the prp injections seem safer........

What are PRP injections? :confused:

If you search this site you can read about our admin's procedure as well as Lisa's treatment. It is a treatment that Dr Greco is doing in Florida. I am exploring it as well.

Hi, I tried cortisone injections and they didn't do a darn thing. They only work if HL is caused by inflammation or AA. All I got from it is that my period is now irregular and weird. The first period after a kenalog injection started weird (with brown blood ) and it lasted longer. A week later I got another period and it was weirder than ever...like old blood for five days and terrible pms on the first few days. Since I cannot have my period every other week I am seeing my ob gyn tomorrow.
