Ketoconazole question

20 years old with a receding hairline. Been on the big 3 for a little over 3 months now with signs of good regrowth. Tons of long thin peach fuzz all over my temples. I take 1.25mg of finasteride, 5% rogaine foam once a day at night, and I shampoo with Nizoral 1% at least 3 times a week if not more. I also take 100mgs of CoQ10 and a multivitamin each day.

So to the point. A couple years ago I was given this cream for my face bc i get this red, dried, scaly rash on my nose every once in awhile and the cream clears it right up. Lately the rash came back a little so i have been putting the cream on for a few days now. Today i looked at the active ingredient in the cream and it just so happens to be drum role......... Ketoconazole 2% cream. Sooo this sparked the idea of what if i was to put this on my scalp overnight. I would probably only put it on my temples but do you think this would have any benefit to me? Any better results? I put the foam on my temples too, would this interfere? Any responses would be great. thanks!

It may help, but if you're having good regrowth why risk it?

In my opinion, only add things to regimes if what you're currently doing is showing to be ineffective.

You could put it on your scalp. but i wouldn't leave it on over night

Im using nizoral a good amount anyways but ya the regrowth is good with what im doing right now. finasteride side effects... well i took finasteride starting last december and took it for about a month and i thought i was getting gyno so i stopped.. well at the end of the summer i decided to try again and so far i have had no side effects at all. Sex drive has always been normal, no sort of brain fog or really anything. Since taking finasteride i have lost about 40 lbs so really no gyno.
