Question 2

i am suffering from excessive hairfall, i have oily dandruff, i have used nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo but it has made my hair very rough and frizzy, what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Over-washing hair?: Dandruff (seborrhea) is common. Shampoos with zinc, salicylic acid, selenium, or coal tar are sold in many stores. Nizoral shampoo (contains anti-fungal) is also available. Doctors may also recommend cortisone or kenalog (triamcinolone) sprays. Prevent dryness (don't wash hair too often). A primary doctor or dermatologist can look for psoriasis, eczema, or fungal infections if unusual or worrisome scalp symptoms.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Nizoral (ketoconazole): Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo is used to treat seborrheic dermatitis. This drug does not effect the hair follicle.

Question 4

help? i use fluoconozole oil for sebhorraic dermatitis, nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo. hair still itches like crazy! hair is thinning at crown, breaking off. woman.

Accepted Answer

Shampoos: Shampoos remove much more hair oil than regular soap, and it's important that you apply a hair conditioner after shampooing to restore normal hair texture. If a dermatologist doesn't find any medical problems causing hair loss, I recommend that you have a skilled beautician evaluate your hair status and instruct you on proper hair care techniques.

Question 5

how often to use nizoral (ketoconazole) 2% shampoo for hair loss?

Accepted Answer

At least: Use at least twice a week. You can use daily if you want.

Question 6

will nizoral (ketoconazole) 2% shampoo regrow hair loss caused by ringworm?

Accepted Answer

Needs oral med: Ring worm in the scalp which causes loss of hai in that area more common in children but can happen in adults, needs to be treated with oral antifungal drug like grsiofulvin or Lamisil (terbinafine) and as the infection clears completely the hair will grow back.
Niozoral shampoo is also used along with oral med which will prevent the growth of fungi as well as kill the pathogen.But shampoo alone will not work.

Question 7

does a flare up of seborrheic dermatitis with pain and burning mean hair will fall. using clobesol, nizoral  shampoo. kenalog (triamcinolone) spray and oral prednison?

Accepted Answer

Hair.: Yes, you may lose hair temporarily. Do not overuse topical corticosteroids as long term effects may be skin and hair follicle atrophy. Oral Prednisone is not usually prescribed for seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Question 8

does using nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo removes dht from head?

Accepted Answer

DHT: Dihydrotestoterone, is a hormone, excess levels of which have been implicated in male hair loss and prostate problems. Ketoconazole may produce a decrease in testosterone making it useful for treating prostate cancer and there are studies suggesting efficacy in regrowing hair.

Question 9

should i use head and shoulders conditioner after washing nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo?

Accepted Answer

You Can: Head and shoulders typically has selenium sulfide in it which has a different mechanism of action that Nizoral (ketoconazole-an antifungal).  These topicals are typically used to treat seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff.  Because each works differently, you may get more of an affect using both.  Good luck!

Question 10

can nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo treat itchy dry scalp? i've tried head & shoulders and jason tea tree shampoo, but the itchyness and dryness still come back.

Accepted Answer

Nizoral (ketoconazole) could work: But this is primarily intended to treat fungal infections. Have you seen a dermatologist to ensure that this is not a condition other that may benefit from a more specific therapy?
