Generic Name: Diprolene (betamethasone-topical)
Diprolene Reviews
"When I was 22 years old, 40 years ago, I lost hair on the side of my head, leaving a spot that was about the size of two one-dollar coins. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed Diprolene. I don't recall if AF was part of its name. However, within about 6 months my hair was growing back full-strength. I have not experienced that type of hair loss since. My hair is now thinning in the crown area due to common male pattern baldness. But hair is still in the area. Something tells me that Diprolene may help invigorate the follicles for this as well. I regret that it had to be removed from the market. However, I'm grateful to the dermatologist who recommended it. At that time, the side effects were probably not known. I don't recall having any negative effects. As a naive 22-year-old in the 80's, my goal was to restore my full head of hair. So, it appears that my hair growth was a side effect of the substance, huh? Take my word for it, it was a welcome side effect!!!"
For Dermatitis "I had no side effects. Cleared up severe poison ivy in 2 or 3 days."
For Atopic Dermatitis "Works very well. I used it for a day or 2 and all symptoms gone for several months."
