Nizoral/Ketoconazole hair loss/hair thinning?

hairloss112May 15, 2017
Hello, back when I started using Nizoral a few months ago, my hair was pretty thick. I had a lot of itchiness and dandruff. I used Nizoral everyday for about 4 months but now my hair is very thin on the front and on the crown. Could Nizoral cause this? The three dermatologists said it's just MPB. Thank you.

This requires an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It's unlikely this is due to your propecia/finasteride, but I recommend following up with your Doctor. There are great non-invasive alternatives like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

SurferDude91,Thanks for the question. I would not be surprise to hear that, but sex drive is influenced by many factors. However, sex drive in both men and women is determined by testosterone hormone. Propecia does increase testosterone level a bit, so theoretically it should increase sex drive.
