Dandruff Getting Worse on Propecia
Ever since I started Propecia I noticed that my dandruff was getting worse. I have had nice results with stopping my hair loss from Propecia and I think that it may be regrowing my hair, but the increasing dandruff has become an embarrassment for me. Any suggestions?
I have had a few people complain of increasing dandruff. There seems to be a benefit with using a mild steroid (1/2% hycrocortisone) a few times a week. I generally tell people that three applications, 12 hours apart would be ok, but not to use it heavily or too much steroid can be absorbed in your system through the skin. The use of Nizoral shampoo has worked for many of these people.
if i ever get itchy i find a salt water bath helps a lot.
