  1. Earlier this year I started to experience itchy scalp which eventually was diagnosed by a Dermatologist as dandruff.  I was then prescribed Ketoconazole 2% and Fluocinonide Topical, which I alternate every other day with normal shampoo, and I also stopped using Minoxidil.   Last week, I restarted Minoxidil (Liquid) and immediately the dandruff came back on and I did noticed more hair loss.   I understand hair shed may happen initialy when starting to use Minoxidil.   However, I do have a couple of questions.
     
    1.  Should I stop using Minoxidil until my dandruff issue clears out?   I plan to use Ketoconazole 2%  and Head/shoulder for the next 2-3 wks to see how it goes but wasn't sure whether I should stop Minoxidil or not.   
     
    2.  Can dandruff cause hair loss?  and does using Minoxidil with Dandruff make hairloss worst?
     
    3.  Any other solution to help get rid of Dandruff?
     
    I am a bit at lost on what to do.  On one hand I want to use Minoxidil to prevent hairloss, but on the other hand I have this dandruff issue that just can't seem to go away and I am afraid the dandruff issue may increase hair loss.  Any thoughts/recommendation here would be helpful.
