Scalp itch - anyone have genuine success?

[Danjellyman]

Have you tried MSM?

I’m on it now 5000 daily I believe - I see some people take twice that or more.

I dont have any scalp itch ever since duta and Ketoconazole. Im gonna order a thyroid test online and get blood test. And maybe buy thyroid supplements but this time better quality.

Maybe try something other than ketoconazole - that ignites my scalp so badly. I can’t tough it.

Are you on 1 or 2%?

Are you on 1 or 2%?

2%. Ever since using my shampoo everyday and let it sit for 15 to 20 min in shower has reduced my hairloss by alot.

Gonna use it twice daily to try out. Morning and Night.

I did that for a while. Definitely dries out the hair and makes it straw like. Expensive. But it does make sebum and the itch basically non existent and helps with regrowth

Ye it does dry out. Hair feels thinner and flatter ever since using it but thats just a cosmetic effect, Main point is its benefits.

Ketoconazole like the boys said

But you need to use everyday if you do that you can say goodbye to your DHT itchy

Honestly I think it's a bad idea to recommend keto 2% daily as a religious regime. Some people like me can't handle the drying effect at all. If it was the hair only, okay, but my scalp was affected too and the itchiness got worse. You can try using it daily, but there might be consequences. I can't tell for 1% since I haven't found it to be sold anywhere in my town.

Regardless, the scalp itch is still a mystery to me. I've tried everything as many people have and obtained zero success. Diet, keto, selsun, h&s, Sls free, paraben free, silicon free, stretching washes, no poo, whatever existent method out there. Things I haven't tried yet are anti-depressants. I read somewhere that the itchiness is in fact psychological, something to do with substance P, and that they would be helpful.

Washing my hair daily helps to some extent but it gets dry fast, so I have to reset washes by stretching at least two days and bear the itch/pain in the meantime.

Just applied magnesium oil on scalp. Burnt like a mother f****r. Had to apply oil over. Imagine using ketoconazole shampoo and your skin is totally dry then putting this magnesium salt on your skin. Feels like a sun burn and looks like one, basically feels like you put acid on your scalp.

Use oral dutasteride helped my itch alot. But i barely even had itch before dutasteride. But dutasteride removed it and burning scalp pains.

At least if I could get a prescription to this. Can't buy on the internet though, awfully expensive.

I was on 1 percent for a while and man it drove my scalp bonkers. My experience is it increased the itch and irritation.

Man this is spot on to where I stand. I’m at a loss.
I have read the potential psychological issue here, maybe that’s it?
