I had posted about the Luxiq for itchy scalp. I just went to my dermatologist again and she determined that it wasn't enough. She stated that I need to up the steroid amount.
She has recommended that I use the Olux-E Foam 2 times per day (If I remember correctly, I think she said it was 4%) and Loprox shampoo 3 times per week together for 2 weeks and then as needed after that.
Do I need to worry about a build up of the steroids in my system or long term use of these topical steroids? What about the amount I am absorbing when using these 2 medications together? What would be the threshold for the time frame of using these?
The inital 2 weeks is to get it under control and hopefully after that, I won't need it as often and for as long of a duration.
I am nervous to be using steroids like this. Can they be harmful to the baby? I have been using the Luxiq about 3 times per week for about 1 month.
Can you help me with the risks to breastfeeding?
