I started taking ketoconazole 2% for my dandruff problem 2 times a week. I used it for about 6
weeks as instructed by my doctor. During that time my hair become really limp and started shedding a lot of hair during wash. I used to have afro textured hair but now it is really different. After I stopped using it for about a year now, the texture doesn't seem to reverse. The thing is I still notice a lot of shedding while washing and now my hair appears to be thinning. My scalp is really oily and i notice this sticky white stuff on my scalp even right after washing my hair using shampoo. I have to scratch it out to remove it. Maybe i have seborrheic-dermatitis. My hairloss history is: all perfect hair on my father's side and maternal grandpa kept his hair until his 60's. And my mother's 3 brothers went bald around age 40. BTW I am 19. I don't know if seborrheic-dermatitis caused the hair loss or the shampoo or male pattern baldness. But i know for sure the shampoo caused the texture change. I need to know if it is male pattern baldness or something else, because I am thinking about starting finasteride.
