AP A lotion made from the female hormone estrogen re- duces baldness in men when it is bed into their scalps according to a New York City physician who says he has successfully experimented with the treatment for the past decade Estrogen cannot be taken by men internally without certain undesirable side effects such as enlarged breasts But Dr Edward M Settel says when estrogen is applied externally it ces hair fallout in men and stimulates hair growth in bald areas Settel reported the results of his experimentation in a scientific exhibit at the annual meeting of the can Academy of Family Physicians this week He said the treatment is still in the experimental stage and is not ready for commercial tion Of the 748 men he has treated in 10 years 90 per cent had markedly less fallout after using the estrogen lotion and 68 per cent showed improved hair growth he said I don't make the claim that you're going to grow back as much hair as you had when you were 15 years of Settel said in an interview But he said some hair does grow back on the heads of men with a hereditary condition called pattern baldness He said 45 per cent of American les have pattern baldness caused by an oversupply of the male hormone androgen His treatment tries to ance the androgen excess with the female hormone Estrogen which does not get into the bloodstream when applied in a topical cream is related to growth of hair on the scalp while androgen is responsible for facial and body hair Settel said That's why balding men may have an of chest hair estrogen cream which has a lanolin base is massaged nightly into areas of the scalp where hair has disappeared but which still have ing follicles A shampoo designed to reduce hair breakage is used three times a week He said younger men in his study showed a greater increase in growth of hair with 74 per cent in the age group showing improvement and 47 per cent showing improvement in the age group All elementary schools earn perfect
