"I think this is fungal acne. I think you need to be using ketoconazole on the face. Forget trio blemish for the face. Put ketoconazole shampoo on the face. I think you're going to see a big improvement with that."

"There are a lot of expensive shampoos out there for hair loss but truthfully none of them has showed consistent results and independent studies the way that topical ketoconazol shampoos have. If there was one shampoo I was going to buy for hair loss that I would be pretty confident would work, it would be a ketoconazol shampoo. The yeast that causes dandruff can cause enough inflammation that it can damage the hair, and the anti-inflammatory component of the ketoconazol and the killing of the yeast might help alleviate some of that hair loss. It also is an androgen inhibitor, and because androgenetic alopecia is caused by androgens acting on the hair follicle which miniaturizes them, by blocking these androgens it can be quite effective at stopping hair loss. For these types of shampoos you want to leave them on the scalp for 2 to 3 minutes to make sure that the medication really sets in. You also want to massage it in with a little bit of a scalp scrubber, leave it in there, allow the medication to work, and then wash it out."

"Of all of those that are available out there I actually think Ketoconazole has the best evidence of everything that's there, so I do think that it's actually a really good hack for somebody who's just looking for a little bit of edge with their hair loss. Is it foundational to a hair loss routine? I think not. But I think if you're somebody like me who's doing everything to try to promote hair growth, I personally use it and I use it for other reasons such as dandruff, so for me it can't hurt and in fact I think it does help a bit. When it comes to shampoos there are very few this is one of a few that has evidence. Beyond that I mean there's not much there, and so this one I think is doctorally approved."

"There are some clinical studies looking at topical ketoconazole for improving androgenetic alopecia. It does appear as though it can improve hair density and hair thickness in men. If you're a woman with androgenetic alopecia there's no guarantees that it's going to work, but in my opinion it's definitely worth a shot because ketoconazole shampoo you can buy over the counter. It's generally pretty well tolerated, it's safe, and you're probably more comfortable washing your hair with some frequency, so it's a lot easier to incorporate into your routine if you're motivated as opposed to some of the other topicals."
