It's best not to use conditioner on the same day that you use ketoconazole shampoo.
Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% can be used only twice in a week. My opinion is not to use any conditioner at all during the course of the treatment. As this shampoo is used to treat seborrheic dermatitis mainly, using a conditioner afterwards will probably exacerbate your condition. or defeat the purpose of using this shampoo.
I've tried to use a conditioner thinking it'll help. It didn't. It irritated my psoriasis more. I'm using the Ketoconazole Shampoo still w/o conditioner . However, I'm using Calcipotriene Tropical Solution 0.005% with it now. This is the first week of 8 for the treatment because my psoriasis is quite acute, bad.
Any suggestions or comments. I've used Fluocinolone Acetonide Topical Oil 0.01% & since discontinued it gets too oily & I've overused it definitely.
