For Seborrheic Dermatitis "Ketoconazole shampoo works great for my seborrheic dermatitis. It significantly reduced the frequency and the amount of dry skin that was flaking off my scalp and face. Very happy that I found something that works this well. Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have seborrheic dermatitis."

"I've been struggling with 'ringworm' for over a decade. One day working at a fast food place, I stepped in 'garbage water.' My foot was soaked in grease and everything from the dumpster. I was not allowed to go home and change my shoes. Over 10 years later, I still have 'ringworm.' It looks like little craters on my toes. I've had doctors look at it, instantly prescribe ketoconazole. Recently, my doctor looked at it and said, 'It's not that bad, wear socks less.' But at the same time, prescribed K-zole. I feel like I am making the ringworm stronger by continuously working in damp environments and not using the cream twice a day. I'm tired. After a day, I take off my boots that have 'breathing holes.' I forget. I have spurts of horrible itchy, moon-like toes with ringworm. Or I am so tired I forget. It's 2% cream, supposed to be twice a day. I did that for 2 months. I wear cotton/wool socks. It was gone. I sprayed and also put shoes in the freezer. It keeps coming back. Ketoconazole works, I use it."

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "When my seborrheic dermatitis began and I realized that it was directly responsible for my dandruff problem, I tried every OTC dandruff shampoo I could find, and finally, in the end, I discovered Nizoral 1% on Amazon. I ordered it, and as long as I used it every day on my head, face, ears, and groin, I remained outbreak and itch-free. Then I got a new doctor, and he prescribed Nizoral 2% for me. Now I use it only twice a week with the same results as daily Nizoral 1%, and I've experienced no side effects. I'm using the generic alternative, of course, which is around $15 for 120 ml (about 4 oz). I get 3 bottles for $25 every 90 days because of the way my insurance works. That's pretty affordable for the only shampoo that works to tame this disorder that plagues my sensitive Scandinavian skin. It really works. If you're debating whether or not to try it, I personally recommend that you do. You can always try something else if this doesn't work, but you will be pleased with ketoconazole."

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "I was told I had severe seborrheic dermatitis. Was told to use it for two months with another cream. Used it 3 days, no difference. Dermatitis is diaper rash. So I am trying a diaper rash treatment from a drug store. Only used 1 day, and it's 45% better. Going to give it a try. Will report back later."

For Dandruff "I never knew my dandruff would go away until my pharmacist suggested I use Ketoderm gel. Less than a month, no more flaking and itching. Please, if a Ketoderm hair oil could come up, that would be super great. The hair gets too dry after shampooing."
