NIZORAL 2 Percent Update

So, it’s been a couple of weeks now since my last update and I had promised an update on my NIZORAL 2 % experience. Like I said before since I have been using Rogaine 5% it has caused me a few side effects such as acne and some mild itchiness across my scalp. The acne would come and go however the itchiness seemed too always be present. The itchiness would be present across my entire scalp, although it would be quite mild, I found this to be a little bit strange. Because of the side effects, I did my research and decided to try and incorporate Nizoral 2% into my regimen. After some more research, I decided to go with the Nizoral shampoo and conditioner. I started using the shampoo and conditioner twice a week for two weeks on Tuesday and Thursday. 

To make a long story short the Nizoral 2% has really helped my condition a great deal. The Nizoral 2% products are very easy to use and I found that the Nizoral shampoo and conditioner cleaned my hair better than any other product I have used. It seemed to leave a residue on my hair but this was easily removed with shampoo. The Nizoral shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling very clean, soft, tangle-free and fresh smelling. The itchiness that had been present across my entire scalp was now gone, all but gone! My scalp was also much more manageable, it felt so smooth when I rubbed it after washing my hair. After two weeks of using Nizoral 2% the scalp irritation that had been present when using Rogaine 5% had completely disappeared. 

The acne problem that I was having in particular in the back of my head slowly started to fade and deftly have decreased in frequency. I was so surprised because the acne that had been present in my head had seemed to have gotten worse after a couple of weeks of using Rogaine 5% yet it seems to be going away after using Nizoral 2%. I really like the fact that after washing my hair with Nizoral 2% I can rest assured that I have washed out all traces of the medication and would not experience any more irritation. 

I am very pleased with my experience with Nizoral shampoo and conditioner. I still get them but just not as much and they don’t seem to be his full-blown as they were before which will often be very painful. I believe this helps with my acne due to its anti-DHT effect upon my scalp.

In terms of my itchiness thankfully is deftly has helped as well. Beforehand I would feel itchy throughout the day to various degrees of itchiness. Quite often the itchiness would be very annoying however since I have been using the Nizoral the itchiness has deftly come under control thankfully. I still have itchiness however it’s much milder and controllable these days. It doesn’t bother me as much as it did before hopefully will get better down the road with continued usage of the shampoo.

My hair has also grown a lot more in the past two weeks than it did before thus making my hair appear fuller and thicker. I couldn’t be happier to say this as I have never been confident with my hair. My schedule is very hectic so I don’t get the chance to use the Nizoral shampoo and conditioner every other day. However, even using it every two days it definitely seems to make my hair grow faster. I would highly recommend this product to those suffering from DHT-related problems including thinning hair and itchiness across your scalp as it definitely has made a tremendous difference in my life. 

Side Effect Of Rogaine Acne Breakouts

I have been using the Rogaine with the dropper for a little while now and I really find it convenient to use as compared to the spray applicator. Like I said before I find it more efficient, less wasteful, and easier to apply around my scalp. Now for those of you that are asking “When will Rogaine show results?” my answer would be after at least three months of use. Rogaine can take at least six months to work on these people while some cases can take up to years. Besides the best way to apply minoxidil people are always worried about any Rogaine side effects. I have read a lot about the side effects and to be honest it did not worry me too much, quite frankly was worried more about stopping my hair loss than any of the side effects happening to me. I did not notice any of the side effects that other users mentioned when I first started using Rogaine and what I did notice was a burning sensation a minute after applying it, which went away after some time. Personally, I believe that this was an adjustment phase of my scalp getting used to the product. 

However, some time has passed now and I believe I am beginning to suffer from one of the most prominent side effects that people can have from using minoxidil every day. Unfortunately for me, I have very sensitive skin throughout my face and I assume throughout my scalp as well. For example, even just shaving generally causes me a problem every so often because I have such sensitive skin and I break out in ingrown hairs and razor burn if I’m not extremely careful when shaving. I have to be very careful when shaving and I also had to use cortisone cream in order to help prevent any breakouts or rashes. 

A couple of months ago, I began to experience the exact same kind of breakouts and rashes, which have never happened to me before. My face and my scalp are both hyper-sensitive and it is extremely painful when these kinds of breakouts occur. I have been using the Rogaine with the dropper for a little while now and I really find it convenient to use as compared to the spray applicator. Like I said before I find it more efficient, less wasteful, and easier to apply around my scalp. 

So, after using Rogaine for some time, I started noticing some odd pimples spread across my scalp where I normally wouldn’t get any type of acne before. Not a lot but a few spread around my scalp where I use the minoxidil. I really don’t know if my pores are getting clogged up by the minoxidil and this is why getting acne or is it some type of rash or direct reaction to the minoxidil itself. Thankfully they are not painful at all but more of an annoyance than anything else at this point. So in a nutshell it seems like my first side effect of Rogaine is acne breakouts.

Rogaine Side Effects from the beginning were very minimal. Other than the initial redness and itching, which usually subsided after a few days. But we soon noticed that there was a change in the texture of our hair after using the product. It became finer, softer and silkier. Rogaine has been used for those fighting receding hairlines and is an affordable alternative to expensive surgeries like hair transplants.
