Common Questions and Answers about Ciclopirox shampoo over the counter

I’ve tried a number of over the counter and prescribed medications in order to get rid of the smell, but nothing has seemed to work. I wash my hair daily, and I keep my pillow cases and sheets extremely clean, but I’m still embarrassed every day by the odor that emits from my scalp. I’ve recently shaved my head bald, thinking that would help get rid of the smell, but the odor seems to come through even stronger now because I don’t have any hair product to mask the smell.
Hello,
Scalp folliculitis is an inflammatory disorder of the hair follicles in the scalp. The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful.
If the symptoms are severe,then topical antibiotics,mild steroids and oral antibiotics may be needed.I sincerely suggest you to discuss these treatment options with a dermatologist.
Hope it helps.
Since it has come back after stopping treatment, it means that the cause is recurrent which may be due to inadequate treatment or constant contact with the source of infection. Wash all combs and towels, pillows in hot water and then use them. The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful.
Perifolliculitis is characterised by small, very itchy pustules within the scalp, often most troublesome on the frontal hairline. The scalp should be washed with a mild normal shampoo as often as desired. Antidandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or ciclopirox are sometimes helpful. Apart from that you need topical and oral antibiotics, antihistamines, oral steroids and topical tretinoin.
My sincere advice is to get it examined from a dermatologist.
When not using the Nizoral shampoo, use Neutrogena shampoo like this, or the green color if your scalp is oily:

I find this at CVS drug stores usually. Get the conditioner too if you need conditioner, and only use it on the ends - keep all conditioner off your scalp. Neutrogena has no gluten and is very calming to inflamed scalps.
Hello,
These symptoms may be due to traction which is causing pulling of the hair follicles. Try keeping the hair lose or keep it in a moose ponytail.

Apart from that you need topical and oral antibiotics, antihistamines, oral steroids and topical tretinoin.
I also wear a showercap on some days as too not wet my hair as I heard that is good for clearing the dandruff. Nothing has worked. I have used many different anti-dandruff shampoo with no luck. My scalp is itchy and feels EXTREMELY dry but at the same time if I run fingers through my hair it feels oily. I have noticed that I have red pimples on my scalp too. They have no pus or anything like that just a red bump and when I scratch on it some skin peels off.
About two years ago I switched to a shampoo without SLS and the eczema disappeared (to the touch) within days (and never returned). Within the last few months I have been getting a rash, itchy, with bumps that feel a bit like acne to the touch, on my scalp. I have tried many shampoos, all of which provoked the same reaction after more than one use.

I've had a problem for close to 15 years, and have never been able to get an answer as to what the problem really is and how to correct it.
I have these very small red bumps / pimples in my hair. I've tried all the shampoos out there over time, and none ever work. I've been able to somewhat control it by keeping my hair short and as dry as possible. Dandruff shampoos make matters worse, not better. (Selson Blue, Coal Tar extract, Head & Shoulders. . .
I was too embarrased to tell of the alcohol incident so i just said i was under anxiety and stress. The doctor gave me ketoconazole foam, 2% and a rx for Ciclopirox shampoo. When i apply the foam it burns a bit but the shampoo is a bit better. What i would like to know is why did she do a fungal skin culture? And your suggestion on what the outcome might be. Also i been suffering from anxiety and stress. Im even anxious of the results i have to go back in 3 weeks.
You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium. On the face topical steroid under a dermatologist’s consultation are required.
If the symptoms persist, then it would be best to get it confirmed from a dermatologist.
I sincerely hope that helps.

Try medicated shampoos for dandruff. There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos available that can help. The most effective ingredients -- antimicrobials -- to look for are zinc pyridinethione, selenium sulfide, sulfur and ketoconazole (also available by prescription). If your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur.
If the symptoms persist please consult a trichologist for the confirmatory diagnosis and treatment.
He went to several doctors treated it with over the counter stuff for athletes foot and tinea, and everything else you also discribed. NOTHING worked either. Then one day we had an Old Native American Lady tell us to take the clover that grows the purple flowers.... and only when the flowers are blooming on it pull the leaves off the stems, wash them.

An over the counter medication is any medication that can be purchased without a prescription "over the counter", but does not make the medication safer and needs to be taken according to the directions on the package and there is a need to be more vigilent and take into consideration individual health, the benefits versus the risks and potential interactions with any prescribed meidcations.
