Regular Member feelzgood Posted June 5, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yes I had the same issue when started loosing my hair. I was told it was the oil that scalp started producing in overtime mode. This is what you should do - "wash your hair or take shower daily" - my doctors advice. Also use Nutrogena T/Gel or Nizoral as well. That helped me a lot with my itching problems early on. But the damage was done and I had no choice but to go HT route. BTW I still use Nizoral 2% 2X per week, take shower every day and my scalp does not itch at all. Once in a while I still got that odd itchy tingeling feeling on top of my head, but nothing like in early days of my early hairloss days when itch was daily and I didn't know about those two good shampoos and daily shower routine. Hope this helps you as it helped me a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted June 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 There are lots of other shampoos that contain Ketoconazole. It's a good addition in the fight against hair loss. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member aseda1979 Posted June 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 What I do is alternate between Head & Shoulders 1% P.Zinc, Nizoral and Revita. It works good since H&S have conditioner in it which counteracts the dry effect of Nizoral. My itching has stopped almost completely now and I dont know if its cause of the Fin or the shampoos but Im so glad the iching is not there anymore, what a relief. My hair is still oily but not as much as before. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted June 28, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2011 First off, I would suggest you see a dermatologist just to make sure you don't have some treatable skin condition that is causing your scalp itch, and possibly--although unlikely--contributing to your hair loss. Next, I too have an itchy scalp in exactly the same areas that my hair in thinning. As I've posted many times before...I am a huge fan of neutrogena t-gel shampoo and have used it for a decade. Its cheap and works to solve almost all scalp itchies... Nevertheless, I still ask my wife to scratch my scalp, just in those areas. She tells me that the itchies are the "last gasp of a dying follicle" but I don't care. It just feels good to get a head scratch, doesn't it. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Regular Member crowningglory Posted June 30, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2011 Try using 1% Nizoral or a mild shampoo first. Your scalp maybe irritated with strong chemicals on your current shampoo. But then again, I'm no hair doctor or dermatologist and Dr. McLean suggested seeing one. Goodluck!
