Hi guys, I've tried searching for a similar post on this but can't find one so here goes:
I caught my hair loss early and got on the big 3 straight away, this was 6 years ago (I was 22 at the time, just turned 28 now) and I've basically maintained since then which I am obviously happy about. However in the last few weeks I've noticed my scalp has been more itchy than normal and I've felt the need to use nizoral more often (up to now I've been using it 3-4 times a week) and now I feel the urge to use it almost every day to keep the itching in check. Now if I don't use it on a certain day I really notice itching throughout the day.
I've also felt pain in my scalp a few times over the last couple of weeks and I've never had this before. Often if touch my hair it can feel sore at the scalp. For example yesterday I had a day off nizoral and used regular shampoo in the morning and by the evening there was pain in my scalp. I used nizoral this morning and the pain and itching have more or less disappeared.
I'm basically having to use nizoral literally everyday now to keep itching and occasionally scalp pain at bay. I guess I'm just a little worried because I've been on the big 3 for 6 years with no sides and maintained well. Why am I now starting to experience pain in my scalp which I've never had before along with more itching?
Any help or advice is much appreciated guys.
