Im almost at two weeks and I have little to no redness. I was wondering if it is safe to use Nizoral 1% now and doc gave me a prescription for 2%.

I think 10 days after is the usual recommendation.
Whether or not it has any regrowing properties, I don't know, but I do know it does wonders for dry scalp.

After two weeks you should have no problem using Nizoral.

THINinHouston,

I have found that it depends on how your scalp is healing. If you are experiencing increased redness (a possible sign of irritation), Nizoral could further irritate it. With little or no redness at 2 weeks, you may be ok to start using it again. In my personal opinion, waiting a good month may be optimal, but since you are healing from your hair transplant nicely in these first few weeks, go ahead and resume the use of Nizora1 2% a couple times a week. In the event your scalp has an increase in irritation, stop using it for another couple weeks to give your scalp a chance to heal.

Best wishes,

Nizoral is acidic, so you should wait at least a month.

In my opinion - stay off it all together - it causes more harm than good with shedding.

What is Nizoral?

agent,

Nizoral is a shampoo that contains active ingredient ketoconazole. Ketoconazole is typically used to treat dandruff or scalp dermatitis but has also been found to potentially be a "weak" DHT blocker. In my opinion, ketoconazole is a bit overhyped, but it can't hurt to use as an adjunct treatment to Propecia and Rogaine.

I thought it also cleans out the follicle or unblocks the pore that the follicle pokes out of. allowing rogaine to seam in the follicle better?

Thin,

I believe you are referring to sebum removal, and yes, Nizoral does contain those properties as well, just as Nioxin does. Some will lead you to believe that sebum causes hair loss, but this is highly misleading. There are cases where scalp conditions can cause a temporary hair loss that when rectified, hair growth will continue as normal, but sebum is not responsible for androgenetic alopecia (female and male pattern baldness).
