Donna3,
Hi. I have the same problem with my hair. The ketoconazole was killing my scalp. See if your MD will change your shampoo to Ciclopirox 1%. I find it more kind to my scalp. It says on the back, to use it twice a week. I alternate that with Neutrogena T-Sal, Neutrogena Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with Apple Cider Vinegar, and Clr. (Very expensive), and I use it only occasionally. For hair loss, I have started to use Actonis, it is a hair loss wand. According to my dermatologist, I have male pattern baldness. I use no shampoo for hair loss because I have SD. I have used the wand for two months and my hair is starting to grow back My hairline was receding and a clump fell out on my right side. I take OMI vitamins (on QVC), expensive, but I don't know if they will help yet; although, my hair seems to be shedding a lot less. See if you can get any PRP treatments for the scalp. I have paid for two, but I have not had them yet. They are very expensive, but I am getting them done at a beauty school, for a much cheaper price.

My dermatologist recommended Nizoral. I buy #4 which is designed for color treated hair. I have done well with that.

No, not smart, just old and been there before. Lol

Mary Moss,
I like you. You are one smart lady.

Great advice Karen. I’m using ciclopirox products and they are very effective given time to test. Like you I am using it 2 or 3 times a week gel wash for my face (Another product) and ciclopirox cream for my face. It is slowly getting relief. I like the way you let it sit on your scalp 2-3 minutes before tinting it off.
