Is a Nizoral shed possible?

[Rutger Hauer]

Hello, I've been using minoxidil for a few years, and I recently included Nizoral 2% into my regime, twice a week.
I started using it for about a month and a half, and I am experimenting an increased number of falling hairs.

Can ketoconazole make you shed? Is this possible in such a short time?

And I guess this is a good sign?

Thanks for your help!

Come on guys, please have pity on a frightened guy.

Did you have a month and a half Nizoral shed? Did it come back again stronger?

(Maybe I should go down to 1% nizoral)

Thanks in advance!

Anything that effects a change in the hair cycle may cause "shedding." Yes - if you're responding to the mild action of Nizoral, it is possible.

I highly doubt that you'd shed from using Nizoral. It's probably your male pattern baldness.

It's pretty tied...

Yet the results are in my hands when I shower. ARGHHHH.

I don't know if this is normal, maybe I should skip a week showering with Nizoral to see if it would stop? Because maybe it just irritates my skin making hair fall out, (even if I don't notice it very irritated). :freaked:

Anybody here experienced a Nizoral shed and recovered afterwards with stronger hair? If so, how long did it take?

Thanks.

says on the bottle it can cause temporary shedding

Dr lees site mentions an increased, continued shedding in a small amount of users of nizoral.

Maybe you're living it in for too long.. a thing I notice when I use nizoral is my hair feeling tangly unlike with other shampoos, and I think if hair is tangly when trying to detangle it it will obviously force your hair to shed more, when I wash with nizoral I try to dry my hair with a towel and only detangle/comb it thereafter.

I started using Nizoral a couple of weeks ago and I seem to be experiencing some shedding... I think. My hair is thinner than before. I thought male pattern baldness was a slow process. If loosing density whithin a couple weeks, wouldn't it be more shedding than male pattern baldness progression?
