Anyone heard of someone with bad inflammation having success with meds?

Has anyone actually heard of someone who had a really dry itchy flakey red scalp getting any benefits from meds? Most of the success stories I see have the original poster mentioning nothing about having inflammation. Do the meds only work for people with non-inflamed scalps?

For me switching to rogaine foam 2 x a day from the liquid has done wonders, the liquid burned my scalp, also nizoral 3 times a day helps

Nizoral 3x a day?? That's not only extremely expensive but also unsafe.

papa, get a shampoo with selenium sulfide and use it about 3-4 times per week

I could recommend to take niacin since it has a responsibility in maintaining our hair healthy. Less of it will actually cause inflammation. You can also try anti-inflammatory creams that contains steroids.
