Ketoconazole Shampoo For Hair Loss? 

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and educating us. I've finally made it through all your videos!! I just wish you were here in Canada. So hard finding doctors I like after watching your content !! Keep up the great work!

The part from 1:14 on is so important and rare. To be aware of your own biases. Truly a sentence to be commended.

This doctor is AMAZING!!!! He has helped me so much and saved me thousands of dollars!!! I cannot thank you enough.

i am 22 and experiencing hairfall since I was 19.. an eye doctor prescribed ketoconazole shampoo .. i had no expectations tbh.. but to my surprise it stopped my hairfall completely within 4-5 days.. and ever since then I have to shampoo my hairs everyday. But it's not really working anymore.. I have been using minoxidil for a month now after consulting a dermatologist.. i will get on a topical minoxidil+finasteride+procapil treatment without re-consulting the doctor from tomorrow.. the doctor refused to give me finasteride.. but i did thorough research and i am pretty sure i am the perfect candidate for finasteride.. I am guessing he doesn't have much knowledge about finasteride and it's probability of side effects and ways to alter doses.. it sounds bad but i think i am gonna take things in my own hands.. your channel helped massively .. thanks.. good luck sire! love and respect from India

This doctor has really helped on my journey. Along with his Partner, great guys. Thanks for all the insight.

Hello Doctor, I've been a loyal subscriber since day 1. Thank you so much for all the information and knowledge you're sharing. It's keeping thousands of men from practicing wrong methods of preserving hair. Also had a question about mixing Retin A with minoxidil solution. Does it provide and greater pentration capacity?

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Just a correction - inflammation does effect the Male pattern baldness not just a temporary shedding, it shortens the Anagen phase which accelerates the permanent loss of the follicle, also not sure if the comparison with finasteride/Minoxidil was necessary as Ketoconazole Shampoo's are a complimentary treatment best taken with finasteride.

I mean, you gotta wash your hair with _something_ right? So your choices are something that _might_ help with hair loss or something that _won't_ help with hair loss.

The studies about how it works synergistically with finasteride and is better than just finasteride alone

Thanks again doctor!

Do you have video(s) talking about TE and Chronic TE in women, or just FPHL? Doctor says low iron levels might be the cause, but not clear whether just raising iron levels is enough or should other treatments be started.

Being a hairstylist of almost a few years, I can share with you you, that you're not supposed to apply strong hair shampoo on your hair. I have noticed hair lines of numerous people, and I noticed that individuals who were using harsh shampoo cleansers generally had thin hair line. So I suggest only to use mild shampoo only. I personally use and recommend to apply litttleextra cocconioon shampoo only. Also, do hot oil massage twice a week as it enhances circulation and encourages healthy hair growth.

My hair loss medication ends here .....love you sir for the information❤️❤️❤️

Hello hair guru, can you please guide us about Procapil shampoos or serum for hair growth. And shall we use this with minoxidil....thanks

You guys are amazing.

The anti androgen effect is not through the inhibition of 5ar enzyme, it doesn’t not block the aromatisation of testosterone to dht. From theory it should locally bind to androgen receptors in the scalp, beating DHT and Testosterone, potentially halting miniaturisation of the follicle. However the theory around it’s localised presence can be debunked by the fact that if it can be absorbed it will inevitably go systemic. It is a weak non steroidal anti androgen… not a 5ar inhibitor. It may work for people who are not genetically prone to AGGRESSIVE androgenic alopecia (99% of males are prone to hair follicle miniaturisation to a certain extent) but it will not be an effective compound if used as stand alone mono-therapy for androgenic alopecia. Keeping in mind with that, the use of finasteride will also not successfully halt androgenic alopecia because even though you are running your DHT into the ground there is an increase in testosterone. Testosterone has a lower androgenic effect at the hair follicle. Meaning the speed of miniaturisation is decreased but not completely halted. This is where there is potential found in the use of better more potent non steroidal anti androgens to combat hair follicle miniaturisation on both the androgen receptor front and then using finasteride to decrease DHT and indirectly reduce the level of androgens the anti androgen needs to beat to the receptor

would you guys consider making a video about dedicated to topical anti-androgens?

Obviously finasterite and minoxidil are the drugs used as first line, but Ketoconazole has shown in studies (small sample size and low quality) it hsa potential to help in hair loss. Thus a 3 month trial on it every 3-4 days, i dont think would be bad given the person uses it with realistic expectation.

This is a tough one. I think inflammation is part of the mpb process so it can’t hurt to throw it in there imo. Problem is nizoral is pretty harsh

Your best doctor is you, give it a try. It has work wonders for many people including me. The only thing is that it makes ur hair dry. The thing is that shy can build up on ur hair causing hair loss, thus shampoo is very good at getting rid of it.

AWESOME THANKS 😌 ❤️

Thanks for the info! Researching as much as I can until I can afford to see a dermatologist.

Hi do you have any opinions on claims that Saw Palmetto may block DHT?

What about acetolone shampoo or can you recommend any other good shampoos?

my doctor prescribed T Gel original formula! any thoughts on that please

hey man, about the hair loss: I was wondering if you ever heard of 2 things, 1 pilos anti- schilfershampoo it contains 2% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine (PTO) my second question: (2) Did you ever hear of PTO Apprently it has the same function as ketaconazole it blocks dht. Do you think the Pilos shampo is okay because the main function is flakes and I don't even have them. what I do have is seberotic eczema that also causes hair loss ( but no coves ) and a lot of itching but that has now stopped because of that shampoo

I wish you guys lived in the U.S😭

My main complaint years ago was that my head became incredibly oily over a short period of time and became extremely itchy. Ketoconazole shampoo was the only type of shampoo that took the itch away completely. So defo worth while for me.

Hi Dr. My dermatologist recommend I use this (2%) for Telogen Effluvium but I also think my genetics are starting to kick in. I have always had naturally thin hair but it is very long and since this shampoo bottle is tiny I have been washing my hair with a keratin shampoo I had to get rid of some of the oil before I apply the Ketoconazole. Should I only use the Ketoconazole or can I keep washing it first with other shampoo? I know its kind of a silly question but just wanted to make sure. Love your videos btw

It may help as a first line defense, but it probably won't stop it on its own .. just something to add to your arsenal a few days a week

What about the nizoral cream though? The shampoo is used only for 5 mins while the cream can be left to absorb in the scalp, wouldn't that reduce DHT to a greater degree than the shampoo would?

Thank u doctor! Could u please tell me how to make diff between MPB and other type of hair loss? Thanks

Working a absolute treat for me

Can I use it? My skin on my scowl coming off like my hair is full of white skin, is there a way you can have a look or get in touch

Hi, great videos, lots of info. Can you please make a video in regards to proviron (Mesterolone) and it's interaction with finasteride? I am wondering if proviron cancels out the effects of finasteride? TY

What about using it for shading at the times when the scalp feels itchy and burning?

Which shampoo is good for supporting minoxidile treatment ?

Hey doc, what do u think of flurudil and alfatrodial?

I was recently put on ketocalozone for dry scalp and noticed Red 40 food coloring within the ingredients. Why would a product meant for treating a scalp contain food coloring?

Some people stated that helps to avoid progressing hair loss? Is that right?

I’ve seen great results with 1mg oral Finasteride and 2.5 mg oral minoxidil. It’s been great, but it’s literally been 7 months for me to see drastic results

Thanks for the video! Do you have any suggestions on frequency of hair washing, especially for thinning/fine and oily hair for women? I see lots of mixed commentary online. Thank you!

some recommend to put contraceptives in the shampoo... what do you think? since estrogen protects the hair follicle?

What about topical finasteride - how do you compound it?

Hello, i love these videos. What if you leave the Keto Shampoo for like 20-30 min on your scalp, like some sort of gel?

How about ketoconazole cream or ointment so you can actually leave it in the scalp?

What's you recommended in dandruff problem

Dermatologists prescribed ketoconazole shampoo for scalp Psoriasis. The itching is reducing but hair fall still exists. Can you please make video on Scalp Posriasis. There are a very good number of people suffers from scalp Psoriasis. Thank you.

So the thing with Minoxidil is a lot of hair falls out first when you start using it and then after it gets better but whenever I stop using it and start again my hair falls out before it gets any better. if for whatever reason I stop using it I'm worried my hair can't handle another cycle of that.

I recently ordered Regenepure DR (ketoconazole + caffeine) and I can't wait to try it. I've read nothing but great reviews.

Hello Doctor, you said that you can see the change with minoxidil treatment after 3-4 months. If i use it for example 6 months and i see the difference, that is the best result or it could be better after 1 year for example? If i use it for more time, the better result will be?

Hey Doc. Im a 19yo Boy and had an itchy and oily scalp, often came with dandruff. There were some red spots on my scalp too, exactly there on my vertex, where my hairs shedded. Those spots disappeared after one month and i showed my derm those pics and she said: nothing but worry but you can try Ketoconazole Shampoo. One week after starting it, my hairloss went from an average daily loss of 100hairs to 20/25. I track them while taking shower by approximation. But it has reduced the amount of lost hairs significantly. I still see the pattern of MPB, but its slowed down extremely. Do you have a statement for this situation? I started it like one month ago. Could this help me in the future to regrow hair? Im on NW2+vertex

What I take away from this video is to use ketoconazole shampoo in conjunction with other DHT blocking products not as a standalone.

Could you guys talk about hair loss when it comes to SARMs and anabolic steroids. Out of curiosity. Could finasteride conflict with the two?

Hi I'm a cosmetologist for forty years since 18 I believe unnatural products n I suggest tea tree. Shampoo o. On psoriasis as well asdermatitis at the hair and skin but I also believe that vitamin e oil is the best alternative because it's a healing oil.

Dr. Please help. I was taking finastride sinece two months generic finastride. now I can't found it i'm taking proscar 5mg cut into 1.25 mg but now I notice shedding after shedding has been stoped I ask why?

Hi i know it may seem a silly question but can I go bald without noticing any hair shedding?

Sir,whenever I am using any haircolor ,skin itching ,reddish skin like burn and until I use cortison 1% ,it is not reduced. So do you think Ketoconazole shampoo will help me or advice.

Is it safe to use Nizoral containing 2% ketoconazole (recommended application 2 times/week for the first month followed by 1 time/week thereafter) alongside Revita hair stimulating shampoo that contains 1% ketoconazole?

Apply neem n amla hair pack...it works wonders for Scalp inflammation, seborrheic derma

Thx dr Vikram . i miss dr Russel btw hope he is fine .. Can you please tell us your opinion on using caffeine for stimulating hair growth? .. a lot of hair tonics and shampoos that have caffeine claims that it help in stimulating hair regrowth

What do you suggest for prevention for subjects using DHT-derivates in non sky high dosages?

Slightly off topic but what would you say with regards to the dosage of finasteride if I take creatine as I understand creatine has some implication on DHT production. I've not yet started on finasteride but wanted to ask if I should perhaps take 5mg a week instead of 3mg. (I'm 24. Temples receding and crown is okay atm) Also, on an earlier video you mentions a DHT threshold below which minituarisation doesnt occur. Is the effect on minituarisation linear until this threshold is reached or is it a binary effect with regards to the threshold? Thanks

What's your thoughts on taoist soap?. I've been using for awhile now. Really helps with the itching on the scalp. I've seen people to say to use this soap and regain together.

Which treatment would you recommend for Seborrheic dermatitis?

Question. is there a certain way to know if I’m getting gyno? I feel like I’m getting it bc I get a weird feeling around my nips (not often) is this me going crazy or should I stop taking finasteride? :/

Honestly I just felt this was mostly about your opinion, and less about how say, as how best to use additional treatment like this, in what for frequency for hair loss (not dandruff). I hope the feedback helps you

It can damage the hair pretty bad I've used it and my hair basically looks fried after I use not worth it as a dht blocker.

I am using this from past 7 years with Minoxidil 10 percent, its working fine

I've been using Nizoral for 20 years and I've still got thinning on the crown. I wouldn't recommend anyone relies on it alone.

I've been having severe dandruff, oily skin for 7 years and male pattern baldness for 5 years (I'm 22 yo). My dermatologist recommended a (coal tar + Ketoconazole) shampoo. It prevents dandruff production and itching to great extent for a scalp like mine. I've to use it every second day. By the end of second day, my scalp is way too oily. But it doesn't get itchy or build flakes. My hair loss has also reduced a lot because of this.

WHy isn't anyone talking about anti-drandruff shampoos that use zinc pyrithione (like common Head & Shoulders). I believe there was a study on it comparing it to minoxidil groups.

Episode on Mature Hairline VS early stages of Alopecia please

Good advice

Does ketoconazole go systemic when applied topically? It is a pretty potent antiandrogen when taken orally.

Can you so a video on hydrolyzed collagen? Biotin?

I've been suffering from dandruff that sticks to my scalp not the flaky one for about 4-5 years now. I'm planning to start with Finasteride very soon. Should I use this shampoo?

I do knkw that there can be some itching, flaking and sometimes folliculitis that accompanies with FPHL, so I wonder if prescribing it for the treatment of that aspect would be beneficial, but for it to be a treatment for FPHL, yes I agree it does not treat that.

It is helpful in seborheic dermatatis. But cannot stop hairfall.

Would like to have your opinion on E. Alba herb.

I would be interested in your thoughts on hair dye. I am 64 years old and have been dyeing my hair since I was 20. I am not ready to jump into the pool of grey yet, as many others during Covid. I have thinning hair, with age and stress it is getting worse. When I dye my hair it feels thicker, but am I damaging my hair and adding to the thinning process? Thank you.

I used Nizoral 2% shampoo, 1mg fin and dermapen. Getting decent results. Still have a full head of hair albeit thin. I like Nizoral because it’s anti bacterial growth and my scalp is less oily (less sebum production). I use it 3 times a week, every other day. Not sure if it helped hair growth but since there’s no side effects for me, I’m going to keep using it.

It helped me, I used it to treat dandruff some time ago, and few months later my right bay got covered in hair.

Whats good for split end instead of cutting hair half an inch or 3 inches

Please do a video of seborrheic dermatitis. Is there a cure for dandruff ? My doctor says there isn't. He says we just have to control it. I've tried Ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione and salicylic acid based shampoos and benefits have been limited. It seems like it is controlled for a week then it seems like the dandruff has acquired immunity to it.

I hear alot about saw palmetto, can you clear things up for us. Thanks for all the great info.

I've been taking finasteride for 4 months and was wondering if taking ketoconazole shampoo would have a synergistic effect with finasteide?

Ketoconazole worked for my hair falling,but also i do needling on my hair and i use minoxidil 5% three times per week

Thank you

Which 1 is more better ketomed syampoo or dht bloker syampoo and 1 more if I use ketom/dht syampoo can I mix with other syampoo like ginseng syampoo or biotin syampoo coz I know if using ketomed/dht syampoo only 2 a week so the balance I will use other syampoo

Is this have reaction to perms or color on hair I suggest no color or perms to my clients if have skin allergies that' have psoriasis or sebaceous cyst or any kind of dermatitis of the skin until that is healed ..

Can Ketoconazole shampoo and finasteride be used in conjunction?

Do you recommend using products that contain human growth factor extracts like LC Cell company products and does it work for male pattern baldness and is there any side effects?

I use Ketaconazole because i have massive subboriec dermatitis works well

I'm 20 and finasteride isn't working for me. Do you suggest switching to dutasteride to help me maintain the hair I have for a few decades?

Hairloss because of stress? A new job and change of water from good. To hard water? Any suggestions. Thankyou for your hard work xxx 💕💕❤

I have alopecia areata how long do you think I should be on it there's regrowth already

Before I buy this shampoo, can you use it without conditioner? I heard that using only shampoo can make your hair too dry and brittle. Does anyone here use Nizoral by itself?

Hello Dr.please Suggest any shampoo for hair lose?
