"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 '80s, 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!!!"
