Can your scalp be itchy, dry, or burning after using ketoconazole shampoo?

Maybe: But one must think of an allergic cause, I have never seen anything like this complaint in a patient but there is always a possibility. Please see your family physician.

Shampoo irritation: Symptoms of itching and dryness after using a new product may be irritation to the active ingredient, or coloring or fragrance. Let your doctor know if you need to stop using the shampoo due to discomfort. Another formulation or active ingredient may suit you better.
