    Smile Nizoral making me itch...

    Hey, I've been using Minoxidil and Finasteride for about 8 years with pretty good results (still hanging in there at 29). Only recently discovered Nizoral and so bought a bottle of 2% stuff about 3 weeks ago, and have been using it once every 3 or 4 days since then. It's starting to make my scalp a little itchy, which I dont usually have (except for when I used a 6 month supply of Rogain once, which really made me itch. My current brand of Minoxidil is fine).

    Should I be worried? Does this mean it's working, or should I stop using it?

    Thanks!
    Rich

    make sure u use conditioner after each time u use nizoral

    nizoral dries out ur scalp

    i use nizoral 2 times a week

    and i use nioxin conditioner (scalp therapy) afterwards

    hope that helps

    If you are using Nizoral 2%, you should only use that once per week unless a doctor has specifically told you to use it more often than that. You should also be using a good quality moisturizing conditioner. I use Aveeno "Nourish + Moisturize" conditioner as well as their matching leave-in treatment and I like them.
