Nizarol Question

[allopeciajimmy]

Hey guys i had a question on nizoral.. i bought 1% and have been using it for a while. Initially my scalp itch went away but now its back again... (about a month later). Should i up to 2%?? anyone else have a similar problem?

thanks

I've only used 2%. Initially my scalp itch went away but then came back as well. I guess that happens with most new treatments. Keep using it and it will probably go away again.

That happened to me too, and when I took periodic breaks from it, that seemed to help. (Kind of like my head got used to it and was ignoring it.) I agree, you should stay on nizoral, of course. But in my case, I was overusing it -- like 5-7 times per week. Once I cut back to 3-ish per week, it helped its effectiveness. I also rotate in T-Gel as a substitute every now and again, which seems to help. (For instance, 2x nizoral plus 1x T-Gel in a week occasionally; or a whole week with T-Gel, then back to nizoral.) You'll probably have to play around with rotating shampoos a bit. Everyone seems to react slightly differently.

How often are you using it? It could be you killed off so much of the natural flora living on your scalp (competitve inhibition is the concept) that more mutant or vigilant organisms were able to infest your scalp.

I shampoo every other day, which consists of:

- nizoral (3 minutes)
- Rinse
- Touch of H&S Shampoo + Conditioner
- Rinse

The H&S stops my hair from going hard and dry after using the nizoral.

hairschmair, I finally bought some nizoral today. This may sound like a stupid question, but when you say "3 minutes" do you mean that you leave the product in for that long before rinsing, or do you rinse for three minutes?

Leave it on the scalp for 3-5 minutes before rinsing off. I think it says that on the bottle as well, doesnt it?

You guys are using this stuff too much. 1-2x a week.
