Ketoconazole shampoo and hair loss
I've got a male pattern baldness since early 20s. I have lost almost all my hair from fron and crown. I also have a very weak donor area. Now I'm losing my hair from one side of the donor area. I also have seborrheic dermatitis. If I use photonic max shampoo (enriched with minerals and multivitamins). I see minimal hair loss, but seborrheic dermatitis is gets worse. If I use ketoconazole shampoo, it relieves seborrheic dermatitis, but I see excessive hair falling on one side after two to three days of using shampoo, which is included in the donor area.Is the ketoconazole shampoo culprit for it. I only use ketoconazole shampoo once a week. Should I stop using ketoconazole shampoo or should I use it twice a week?
