Avatar m tn When not using the Nizoral shampoo, use Neutrogena shampoo like this, or the green color if your scalp is oily: http://www.drugstore.com/neutrogena-clean-shampoo-replenishing/qxp38927?catid=183491 I find this at CVS drug stores usually.

Avatar m tn I have used T-gel of various strengths, tea tree shampoos, shampooing twice, shampoo and conditioner, etc.. From what I understand is that I should shower more because of my oily skin and hair, but if I do that the bumps get worse and so does the dryness of my scalp. I shower EVERY morning, so it is not a hygiene issue. I get the occasional pimple on my face due to my oily skin, but I have never had sever acne.

Avatar n tn Prior the the potential exposure, I was prescribed a topical nail fungus medication (ClearNails Pro) that is fat soluble and claims to penetrate to the nail bed. This medication contains a drug called ciclopirox which was recently discovered to kill hiv infected cells in vitro. The percentage of ciclopirox is 6 percent. 1. Since my fungal medication is fat soluble and contains ciclopirox, will it enter the blood stream in enough concentration to affect the accuracy of an hiv antibody test?
