Guest Nicko3105 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi I have been taking proscar for two years and two weeks ago i woke up with an itchy scalp, it has been itchy every day since and i was wondering if the proscar which was working has worn off?? I would have thought that proscar would have worked a bit longer than 1 year and 8 months.... I am also useing nizerol shampoo... does anyone know if this can cause it and how often to use it..... the itchyness is all over my head including the back and side and not just the hairline or crown... thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member crowningglory Posted March 1, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am not sure if Nizeral causes itchness but use it 2 times a week in my opinion So far, I haven't read of anyone who experienced itchiness DUE TO Nizoral but if you have been using Proscar for long and you only experience the itchiness now, use Nizoral 2-3 times a week only and leave it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off.

Guest Nicko3105 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 thanks for that.... but can proscar wear off after 2 years?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member crowningglory Posted March 7, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2011 I believe all treatments' results wear off once you stop using them. So whatever result you've had with proscar, expect it to "wear off" and your condition to be back as it was before you started using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it is not the Proscar that is causing the itching. And you are cutting the Proscar tablets right? Regardless of the shampoo, if you do it everyday or even every other day, it can dry out the scalp and cause itching. If the condition persists, you may want to consult with a derm.

hairfull0 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Consult with a dermatologist (or hair doctor) if Nizoral causes itchiness on your scalp everytime you use it or it might be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
