User Reviews for Nizoral topical

I used NIZORAL 10 days ago, within an hour my head was burning and tingling, 2-3 hours lumps & scabs started appearing on my scalp, the next morning poison was coming out of the sores on my scalp, after 7 days I couldn’t take any more I thought it would have gone by then I ent to my doctors who gave me steroid cream and tablets they couldn’t believe that shampoo had caused that much damage, it’s now so sore and still shows no signs of healing, I’m waiting on a call back from the company it should come with warnings it states all these side effects but if you don’t try it how do you know if it’s that dangerous, I nearly used this on my 12 yr old grandson the shampoo burns you it’s highly dangerous I’m 66 could you imagine what it would do to himRead More Read Less

using it for over a month, no results!

Very bad dandruff. Says to use 2 to 3 times per week. First week used it daily then went to 3 times per week. Have been using it for a couple months and no change at all. Don't waste your money on this.

I have seborrheic dermatitis in my scalp. I swear that if the wind blows, my dandruff will make what appears to be snow drifts. Unfortunately, Nizoral doesn't appear to be effective. I've tried using salicylic acid based shampoo followed by a Nizoral treatment, which marginally improves my condition. Also, I've tried various other medicated shampoos without much success. My battle with seborrheic dermatitis seems to be one without an end in sight.

I used the generic medication and it seemed to stem the itching and redness, spread of the inflamation around my mouth; however, I needed another medication to use around my eyelids.

i've used Nizoral shampoo over the counter off and on for the past 15 years. It works the best out of all the shampoos I've tried for the scaly stuff i get on my head.

i need to know if i can use this medication or not.i take meds for parkinsons disease,and i have seen in one of the med warning slips not to use ketoconazole.

I was first prescribed Nizoral in 1997 to treat tinea versicolor and was very effective and safer than alternate treatments. I have since used the over-the-counter version to maintain my anti-itch life style.

I use it for seborrhea of the scalp and face.

I develop, primarily during winter months, fungal probs where the nose meets the face on the sides. Skin in that area develops a dandruff type condition. After three days use, condition clears. I've had to use this medication on and off for a decade.

Totally ineffective. Unless you count the burning!

took forever to work

My doctor prescribed Nizoral shampoo to treat a severe case of dandruff and itchy scalp that had plagued me for years. It works like a charm. Usually I only have to use it once or twice a week, but can use it more often if necessary. It completely clears up the condition, though I guess there is no permanent "cure." Very high satisfaction with this medicine, would recommend it to anyone with dandruff and itchy scalp.

I use it for vericolor of the face. It work very fast to return my color.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBED NIZORAL/HEAD&SHOULDER TO ALTERNATE EVERY 2 DAYS BEING OF THE BLK RACE AND 4 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. NO OIL OF ANY KIND TO BE USED ON THE HAIR. THE PRODUCT WORK GREAT! SHE ALSO DRANK LOTS MORE WATER AND ATE MORE FRESH FRUITS, VEGGIES AND BREAD. KEPT THE AREA COOL AND DRY. NOW SHE STILL USES THE 2 PRODUCTS ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS WHEN HER SCALP BEGIN TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE PROBLEMS. THE PRODUCTS LEFT HER HAIR SHINY SOFT w/ NO BREAKAGE. SHE CAN WEAR NATURAL BRAIDS AGAIN. THE ENTIRE FAMILY USES THE OVERTHECOUNTER NIZORAL FOR IRRITATED, ITCHY SCALP ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS. NOW WE USE THE PRODUCTS BY CHOICE FOR PREVENTION.Read More Read Less

The condition of one of the infected areas was contained after 4 weeks usage of this medicine, but the other area got even worse and the infected area spread out while the original area got a little better (the color turned darker instead of bright red/white, then turned greyish.) I was told that I need to keep the infected area cool and dry and was prescribed Drysol along with the refill of this drug. The doctor can't tell when this will go away...that's the most frustrating part.

did not work on my childs ringworm it actually dried up the skin & made the ring bigger.

my specific instructions were to shampoo my hair everyday with the keto--, and wash my entire body down to my knees, allowing shampoo to set on my skin for 5 minutes. I am african american therefore I found this treatment to be very inconvenient as far as the process of washing my hair everyday. the frequent use of the shampoo caused my hair to become extremely brittle and dry. As a result my hair began to break off at the ends and eventually started to fall out when being groomed. I followed the shampoo with a deep conditioning regime but still failed to improve the poor condition of my hair. I was also prescribed a tablet form of medication along with the shampoo that I took for 7 days. I never imagined I would have to continue using the shampoo for more than two years. Each time after the treatment the skin fungus returned even more apparent than the last time it was treated. I have almost given up. I have seen two dermatologists and also sought out my primary care/Internalist (10 years hypothyroidism treament)for her help as well but to no avail. I still suffer from the same skin condition, dark patches of thin scaly, sometimes smooth and shiny. There is large area of fungus concentrated between my breast that tends to sweat and sour in odor;sometimes burning and itching. Also there is a long stream of this fungus growth that extends down the center of my back. I have used the medication, Nizoral over the counter product,ketoconazole 2%,regular dandruff shampoo, Neutrogena with tar compound, Head and Shoulders. No product has alleviated the fungus completely for any length of time. Read More Read Less
