    Default PGD2, betamethasone valeratel, and hair growth....

    http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=us

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17314444


    could betamethasone valeratel foam be the answer? it's has the know side-effect of "Excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis)" and can be applied to the scalp.

    or Clobetasol Propionate Foam?

    Default I may have just solved baldness

    apparently our friend minoxidil has betamathsone vertiwhatever in it


    "Another minoxidil lotion additive is betamethasone valerate, a cortisone medication that helps to prevent scalp inflammation. In addition to reducing possible scalp irritation, it may also enhance the hair restoration effect of minoxidil in two ways: first, it helps block the metabolism of testosterone in the cells of the hair follicle where the hormone signal to “stop producing new hairs” takes place. Blocking this signal may keep more hairs growing. Second, betameth- asone valerate helps to disperse the white blood cells that are called up to push the hair shaft out. In doing so, the white blood cells scar the hair follicle, reducing to a degree the follicle’s ability to produce new hairs. By reducing scarring, betamethasone valerate may help keep the hair follicles active for more hair growth cycles. Male pattern baldness is a scarring alopecia, and the betamethasone valerate helps reduce scarring of the hair follicle."



    Sounds like we found out why minox works... and it aint cause of the minox


    if we can confirm that this beta stuff blocks PGD2, then it may be the answer....it's all coming together

    holy shit good find

    we should just start looking for compounds that have "excessive hair growth" as a side effect and do research from there


    EDIT:

    Male pattern baldness is a scarring alopecia,
    huh? no it's not?

    I was prescribed in foam form both of the chemicals I mentioned in the opening post, along with a shampoo. I think that I experienced hair growth using them, but had attributed it to the Renokin regiment that I was on... however, nothing ever came of it... but of course....... I had stopped the foams and shampoos eventually and was only using Renokin. Obviously the growth wore off.

    no because if we find that this betamethasone stuff blocks PGD2 then this would confirm the theory that PGD2 prevents hair from growing.... remove it and hair starts growing again.
