alternative to nizoral for ketoconazole?

[random512]

I posted a thread here a few weeks ago and someone had mentioned that Nizoral was too harsh/caustic and he refused to use it.

 

That was the first time I heard someone flat out refuse to use Nizoral but I hadn't actively read this forum in a few years.

 

In the past it was much more common to read about "Nizoral greed" where people would overuse Nizoral (> 2-3 times/week).

 

Ketoconazole is one of the best proven treatments for alopecia so is there a particular ketoconazole product that people are choosing to use instead of Nizoral these days?

I used to use Dr. Lee's regrowth shampoo before the FDA shut him down, that was a very effective but gentle shampoo.

 

I've yet to find an alternative, all the other real "alternatives" are just Nizoral branded in other countries under different trade names. Sebizole from NZ/AUS for etc.

 

Maybe someone out there has some other experiences.

what about this ketoconazole 2% foam?:

 

Extina

Not sure about that foam but I use a small amount of Keto 2% liquid occasionally for my scalp eczema on my forehead in small areas as it doesn't have all the harsh ingredients such as hydrochloric acid.

It comes in a tiny bottle.

 

Maybe you could ask your doctor or dermatologist about the liquid.
