Talk:Thermophobia

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine, a thermophobic foam consisting of 0.1% betamethasone valerate was found to be at least as effective as convention remedies for treating dandruff. In addition, the foam is non-greasy and does not irritate the scalp.

This makes little sense to me. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid. In what way is this substance thermophobic, and how do its thermophobic properties assist in combatting dandruff? The reference given is to some journals database that requires subscriptions, so I can't verify this one way or another. - Smerdis of Tlön 20:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the additional reference. That makes it somewhat clearer. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
