Steroid foam?

My Dr gave me this steroid foam to help with the itch and I had to chop my hair to get it to my scalp because some of my head still has very thick hair. It makes my hair feel so gross. Anyone else have this issue? But I am glad the itch is gone!!

I just started using it, too. I just use it on my front, receding hairline. I have scarring alopecia. It doesn't do much to my hair (maybe I'm not using enough). I don't really like the foam. I think it's hard to work with. When I go back, I'm going to see if there is a lotion I could try instead.

I'm using the Olux foam and after two weeks my beautician can see a difference. The itching is gone but I will ask for the cream when I see the Dr again in a month.

Mona is your hair coming back? I can't see a difference but its less itchy, although not completely gone. I'm wondering if it will be more beneficial to just get rid of my hair or not.

Yes, it's only been three weeks. I was diagnosed in August by a biopsy, I have a balding area in the top of my head. I took pictures when the staple was removed and a picture this week it looks better even my beautician thought so. Let me post them.
