right, can you answer this?

[hulltras]

been off propecia for a month after previously being on it for 2 months. during that two months i was on it my head itched, when i went off it stopped. now on my 6th day of re-starting it my head is itching all over again??!!

what could this possibly mean? it is not psychologial i can assure you and very discomforting.

anyone have anything similar. i use nizoral and l'oreal anti dandruff shampoo and occasionally aloe vera shampoo.

all i know is when i am on propecia my head itches, no matter what shampoo/regime i use. and when i am off it it doesn't.

what is this itching, why is propecia causing this all over itch and what is it a sign of?

thanks

itching is a sign of losing your hair

itch/tingleing = bad news

propecia isnt causing your head to itch, male pattern hairloss is.

I cant confirm or deny the above post. Itching without finasteride could be due to DHT causing hairloss, but with finasteride ??. I think you shoudl get an anti-inflamitory shampoo such as Nizoral 2x each week and perhaps Tgel the other days.

Why are you off finasteride?

 

[hulltras]

i am now back on propecia hence the itching is starting again.

trust me jeff, the itching only coincides with propecia use. when i am off finasteride it doesnt itch, simple as that.

and to the person suggesting i use nizoral i already am, its makes no difference.

so if itching is a sign of hairloss and propecia is helping cause this itch should i stay off propecia all together??? it makes sense!

I understand what you mean.. I was thinning and didn't have an itch but when I started Propecia over a year ago.. it's been problematic itching ever sense.. weird.

Who knows though, all I know is that I'm trying to control it.

Nizoral 2x weekly right now.. and Head & Shoulders w/ aloe other days.

Also, Tricomin feels good.. look into that. I need to buy another bottle soon.

well has propecia worked for you? i can deal with itching if propecia is working, but it seems strange that the itching coincides with propecia usage. surely this isnt right?


perhaps some more experienced users can answer

 

[misterium]

I'm not sure if it's working or not... I'm still thinning but I'm going to keep taking it anyway.

It's been over a year, but I'm going to keep going up til around next July/August (2 year mark) before I decide to add minoxidil or not.

I may just be shedding. I dunno.. hard to tell, I never took pictures and I just don't care to.

I'm gonna just keep fighting it the best way I know how.

Its funny. I had a minor itch before I started finasteride. That was definitely due to male pattern baldness. After I started taking finasteride the itch got much worse for about 9 months. The last while it is getting back to the pre-drug days.

so how is our itch now? has finasteride worked for you? strikes me that those that get bad itches whilst on finasteride are those that dont respond?

 

[nohairnodandruff]

Use Nizoral Shampoo. The itching will subside.

When I took minoxidil though, the itching was unbareable. I dont think i can take that anymore.

 

[hulltras]

to all those saying use nizoral I ALREADY do.

my question is why is propecia use casuing this itching and what is it a sign of (good/bad???)

 

[laevanay]

Bad, just asking are you taking any other drug for any other purpose. How about Lipitor or any other statin?

i presume you are asking me?

propecia is the only drug i am taking. just cant understand why it causes this incessant itch and what it means. i mean to not itch at all when not on it but itch when i am is very strange and i think wrong!

 

[laevanay]

Have you tried going down to 2%?
