Abstract

[Topical steroids have been used in the treatment of scalp and hair disorders for several years. The risk and benefit of this use is similar to the use of topical steroids elsewhere. Indications, contra-indications, use in poorly defined conditions with questionable benefit and in formulations which are inappropriate are worth considering in this set of disorders. Rational use of the drug in the correct indication, formulation, strength and duration could avoid the drug acquiring notoriety and unwarranted phobia.]
