How often did you use ketoconazole to start with. I read to do 2-3 times for 3-3 weeks then once a week? My dermatologist has "as needed" but that seems too much and from what I read shouldn't use it daily. I know Dr is not even suppose to write script that way and thought it was fixed before pick up months ago but I read it before trying and that's what is said. The other cream was fixed to say 2 or 3 times a week. I'm also just wondering what shampoo/conditioner do you se on non ketoconazole… read more

Hi Donna, yes it's so frustrating going from Dr. to Dr. I have never heard of dercos shampoo. I will look it up. I hate the harsh chemicals that are often in perception and even over the counter shampoos meant for dandruff. I feel like I have a combo of oily and dry scalp which makes it tricky. More dry than anything so it makes it hard to find anything. I get so depressed as well. It's like a constant itchy feeling and tightness you can't get rid off. Trying to figure out the best wash schedule for my hair.was like every other day or day and a half. This time I waited 3 days. My am scalp was feeling ok, but still some itch. I had a lot of frizz again after my shower and Input in leave in conditioner, some coconut frizz oil by Wella and even sprayed some keratin it's a 10 on and wella extreme repair and did not seem to help. I had to result to a lot of hair spray and wax stick for those short frizzy pieces on top. I usually don't do all of that and resolve to just a couple of things but when it's real bad it's hard not to try other things. It's so annoying, like I don't need one more thing with my hair. I hope we can both get some relief and fins something that works. Thinking of you and take care.

Hi Donna,
I hope your doing well. I know it's frustrating with the shampoos seems like none work. I have a grave yard full of products, not only shampoos but prescriptions, styling mooses, hair spray, leave ins you name it. Yes I've heard of not putting conditioner on the scalp just the mids and ends. However, I can't do that right now. If I don't out conditioner on my scalp and let it sit I have a ton of breakage of.baby hairs that stick straight up. This controls it a bit. Though my scalp is more greasy then but they are more easy to work with. I also have to my use a leave in conditioner 10 in 1 by Garnier that I find helps and then hair spray or a wax hair stick I use after it's dry. It's a lot of work but my routine. Once in a while I change up and leave something out and it's like back to looking like a troll out of the shower. I got my hair colored yesterday for home and had new baby hairs sticking up about an inch long. I think because dying your hair opens up your cuticles it happened. It's possible I just had new hair growth. It wasn't a different texture like the other ones I have which those were curly and more coarse they seem more frizzy like now. Anyway, I tri d the leave in conditioner, hair spray, and walk stick and it helped a little bit still had those baby hairs and I put so much in I was a total greasy ball, so I decided to wash my hair with what I've been using and so through my routine and it was better then I didn't notice those nee little hairs, but still had the normal problems with the frizzy ones coming up. I was afraid I was going to wake up like a troll again but I just had mostly the typical frizz and shorter pieces I deal with maybe a bit more than normal. So I know I shouldn't have washed right after getting it dyed and probably could have waited until the morning but I was ina. panic. It is what it is. I even thought of going back the place I had it done but I didn't take any pictures and like I said I pretty much was able to get my hair mostly how it's been. Not sure there is anything else they can do or suggest as I've used so much creams, oils, things I mentioned before, etc. I know it's not good for my scalp but I can't go around with all these baby hairs sticking up. Some of them are growing out but those nee ones I saw scared me. Is it really I'm having new growth. I mean I have been taking Biotin and Calalgon and now pumpkins seed. It's nice if that's what it is but I have all these different lengths of hair real.noticsble.in the sun and it looks bad. I know some of it is damage and breakage that will have to grow out but that will be a long time.as some is around my crown. Just trying to keep it healthy to prevent more damage but once I think it's getting better then the next day not so much. Jejanz Ingot a free sample.the Dr. Faxes it they call you the next day then they ship it to you. It was a one time thing. Have a good weekend. Talk later.
hope you get the new shampoo soon... i will look up xeljanx costs lots of money all these shampoos one i tried dercos was 28.00 a bottle did not do anything...... still had scales and greasy scalp re the sebum glands.... many people have oily hair mine waas never like that and i used different shampoos, gels, mousse, hairspray every day dyed my hair for years and never got dermatitis....my doctor said dont use conditioner on scalp only on ends.......i was using head and shouder 2 in 1 had conditioner she said dont use that one..........talk later have a good day. i agree how can a doctor say cant see yu anymore nothing else for me to help you with.....
No.xeljanz is certainly not a ton antibiotic, look it up. I've never seen Bethamsone as scream or lotion. I know if I get any of my hand lotion in my hair even .tiny bit it's greasy and weighs it.down. a foam like moose is different. Well I hope you can find am relief and figure out what works for you. Dr.s Should not be able to give up. I would say find another but you have same as I
.I just hate keep wasting money on appt..the time energy, and cost.then prescribed things that don't work or make things worse it's frustrating. Waiting on the Regenepure. They said it will take a couple of weeks. Take Care.
