[hairhair11]

ok, so i didnt know nizoral had an expiry date - so i was using it to get rid of some basic dandurff 2 or 3 weeks ago. around the same time my hair has been FALLING OUT of my head NONstop - TODAY i was figuring out why, an di realized there was an expiry date...........................

using it a year after the expiry date - could that be the reason i am now going bald?

surely not. Wouldn't the active ingredient become just inactive??

i am not sure! but a year later i used it, and now my hair is falling out continuously - i am going to the medical clinic later today, but nothing has changed in my diet, or anything - just realized i was using a year too old bottle of nizoral - its the only thing that would make sense. help!

okay, so im 18 female
3 weeks ago i noticed a bit more than normal amount of hair on the bathroom floor, thought no big deal
however, last week, when i was brushing my hair, it was piling into my brush - ive always had thick hair so i really thought nothing of it
but this week, i began to feel my hair, and noticed it has lost 1/3 of its volume, and i began to lightly pull on the strands of my hair and they are literally just COMING out of my head, i barely pull, and i get 4 strands of hair, easily.
my hair has always been healthy, but in three weeks, im loosing my thick hair, and im begining to see my scalp at the top of my head - my hair is EVERYWHERE, just falling for no reason.
ive considered why - i havent changed foods, hair products, nothing - other than a month ago i noticed a tad bit of dandruff, so i pulled out a bottle of nizoral and used a tad amount about 4 times in 2 weeks, that was weeks ago. this morning, i checked the expiry date, and it expired last may...could that have something to do with it?
but wouldnt that just make the product inactive, not cause my hair to fall out....
going to the doctors tomorrow..need serious help. i wont be bald.
theres no baldness at all in my family, and this has happened in a period of 3 weeks.
i barely eat meat, but i never have..
ANY ADVICE? please

Hair loss is listed as a side effect of nizoral, so if it's the first time you've used it i guess, that could indeed be a reason, but it could be other things.
