Anyone else have like red circular spots on their scalp? I've noticed them before but didn't realize that I had like over 5 on my scalp, when looking under the light after I got out of the shower. They are a faint red, don't really itch and aren't raised, but if I rub them they feel kind of irritated. I have diffuse hair loss in the areas they appear, but am not experiencing more hair loss in these areas than the area around them.

Yes, seen them. You may be allergic to something in the shampoo you are using.
I suggest you visit a derm because allergies are serious.
Then again it might be really pimples but you never know.

Do you use 1 or 2%? Try 1%, or reduce frequency.
However there are also shampoos with even smaller ketoconazole doses.

Just using the 1%. Not a huge deal if I have to drop it though, don't really think its doing much.
