For Seborrheic Dermatitis "Ketoconazole shampoo works great for my seborrheic dermatitis. It significantly reduced the frequency and the amount of dry skin that was flaking off my scalp and face. Very happy that I found something that works this well. Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have seborrheic dermatitis."

For Dandruff "I never knew my dandruff will go away until my pharmacist suggested I use ketoderm gel. Less than a month no more flaking and itching. Please if a ketoderm hair oil could come up that would be super great. The hair gets too dry after shampooing."

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "I've only been using ketoconazole cream 2% on my face for about a week, but I see no improvement in my facial redness. My primary care physician diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis. My face is now just as red and extremely dry and is starting to break out in pimples, which I did not have before. I never had the itching and flaking that others have described, and I have never had dandruff. I'm beginning to wonder if I have seb derm at all. I'll continue using the ketoconazole for the prescribed month unless my skin continues to get worse and the acne (which I did not have before) becomes more severe. I'm going to see a dermatologist to see if seb derm is really the problem."

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "When my seborrheic dermatitis began and I realized that it was directly responsible for my dandruff problem, I tried every OTC dandruff shampoo I could find, and finally, in the end, I discovered Nizoral 1% on Amazon. I ordered it, and as long as I used it every day on my head, face, ears, and groin, I remained outbreak and itch-free. Then I got a new doctor, and he prescribed Nizoral 2% for me. Now I use it only twice a week with the same results as daily Nizoral 1%, and I've experienced no side effects. I'm using the generic alternative, of course, which is around $15 for 120 ml (about 4 oz). I get 3 bottles for $25 every 90 days because of the way my insurance works. That's pretty affordable for the only shampoo that works to tame this disorder that plagues my sensitive Scandinavian skin. It really works. If you're debating whether or not to try it, I personally recommend that you do. You can always try something else if this doesn't work, but you will be pleased with ketoconazole."
