Dovonex Scalp is probably the best around (at the moment! ) Don't worry about the steroid - there's been a lot of scaremongering going on over the years about steroid use, but it's safe to use, if you follow the instructions & whatever you do, don't use it constantly!! The problem is that it can cause skin thinning if used all the time, but as I said, if it's used as per the manufacturer's instructions, it's fine (they wouldn't have got a licence for a medicine that's not safe and steroids have been around for decades).Have another chat to your doctor, but really, betnovate will help to clear up the problem really fast, just use it properly!
