Hello lybrate-user! betnesol is a steroid prescribed for various conditions but it should not be used for a prolonged period for hair loss. A through medical history is required for the treatment of hair loss which you can by consulting a trichologist who may guide you properly. There are many reasons for hair loss and the treatment also differ considering patients age and extent of hair loss. A holistic approach by having a protein rich diet, cutting down stress level, home care of hair and proper medicines and if required other treatments like prp, mesotherapy, low level laser light is recommended.

Hello. Our doctor prescribed betnesol half tablet for my child (3 years old) if he has high fever.(he does not drink syrup) so the doctor gave tablets. At 1st he gave calpol 250 mg. If fever does not control then asked us to give betnesol (half tablet) medicine. But I made a mistake. I gave 1 betnesol and also calpol 250 along with that. I'm afraid tat this will affect him. Please kindly reply me as early.

Yes, it is a steroid and cause severe side effects... But patients in order to get faster results are ready to take any treatment blindly. If you wish healthy future of the child then take proper homoeopathic treatment.

That depends on what caused the pigmentation n if it really is an infection. Unlikely that the doctor started you on steroid for an infection. Better confirm with your doctor.

A clinical examination and may few tests might be required akriti for completely treating the fungal infection. Fungal infections are tedious to treat sometimes. Please see your gynaecologist for the problem. The medicines you have described, none of them are anti-fungal. Plus keep your carbohydrate and sugar intake under control as deranged blood sugars can lead to increase in the chances of fungal infection. Keep your private area dry. Take care!

Hi sir, I was having very good silky and long hair suddenly my hair started falling 1 month back I went for headhave due to some reasons I thought hair will grow back normally after headshave but hair not growing its getting cutoff to roots and scalp is complete bald now. I consulted doctor online sent some pics of my scalp he said it is alopecia areata diffuse variant. He suggested some medication i'm using that from 3 weeks but I did not find any hair growth. Medication i'm using currently is betnesol forte 6 mg weekly twice. Methylcobalamin 1000 mcg/per day. Trichoton forte daily, uprise-d3 60k weekly once. And I have done all blood tests thyroid, kidney and liver function test, everything is normal. I have vitamin b12 and vitamin d3 deficiency i'm taking supplements for that. I'm really worried whether my hair will grow back or not.

Dear Manasa, I appreciate that you are consistent in your hair care. But we need to evaluate what is the actual reason for your alopecia. Do you have a family history of the same? Did you have any dandruff? Are you on any other medication apart from what you have mentioned in your query. Any illness in the past? There are few treatments available in Ayurveda which can help you to good extent.
