Okay, I was in my DH's medicine cabinet today and saw a can of Neosporin-AF liquid spray. My mind got to thinking.
I've used it before and it is cold (on my feet). Couldn't imagine using it on my scalp. Freeze City!!!
Oh, btw, for you ladies who have money taken out of your paychecks for Flexible spending accounts (through your job). OTC products like neosporin, aspirin, etc are reimbursable.
You get your money back.
So in essence, you could buy like 10 tubes, submit the reciept and recieve a reimbursement check in about 2 weeks. Then when you run out, you can buy some more.
As long as you have money in your FSA.
Just a thought.

Newbie here....I've been lurking for a long time and when I came upon this thread I decided to give the Miconazole Nitrate a try...I've been using it for a few days...my scalp is sore 
so I hope that means something good is happening in those folicles. 
Does anyone know if the Neosporin AF come in a tube larger than 0.5oz? That stuff is expensive 
....last night I went to Rite Aid and got their store brand of Miconazole (the 7 day cream) and the tube is twice the size of the Neosporin AF but it was $10:99 
I'll be posting my progress here.....btw I LOVE this thread!!

Have you tried going to Walmart and using their brand, it might be cheaper. Also I wonder if you can mix it with another grease or oil to make it stretch. If memory serves me correct, in the other thread, the person had mix the cream with grease and applied it.

Edited to add: That various times during my MTG experience, my head would get really sore. I just recently took out my twists after 4 months, I have 3 inches of new growth.

It didn't even dawn on me to go to Walmart. I will try there next. Thank you!
I'm going to mix it this time also....I saw on here how someone mixed cayenne pepper cream, cortizone cream and the antifungal cream together....I can't wait to try that mixture!

Ok, so I was somewhat disappointed at the end of the first week. But I had slacked off a bit here and there. Week 2 was worse because I ran out and it took me a few days to remember to pick more up. But, week 3 I was determined (and consistent) and it paid off in spades. I got my hair braided last friday and today (7 days later) there's already 1/4 inch of new growth! 
That's not
a big deal to most of the folks here, but that's double my usually growth rate.
ETA: Oh I forgot to say, the scalp soreness I experienced in the beginning has been replaced with some wicked itching!
ETA: To add photo.

That IS good growth
1/4 in seven days will equal 1 inch a month

k well i have been using sparingly like every two or 3 days for about a week and a half..and i have some new growth..not much..but i haven't been consistent with it , so i guess thats good. However i did just get a relaxer like 3 days before use..so i hope im not under processed. But starting yesterday I will be using everyday 2X a day.
I've been doing this for about 2-3 weeks since reading about HoneyDew's great research and experience thus far. So far, so good. Best thing about it is that there is no scent! I have nightmares about sitting in a conference room at my job and having the smoke detectors go off from the smell of MTG in my hair. 
Just can't do it, in spite of my chronic PJism and great reviews.
Anyway, has anyone noticed that the Neosporin reverts previously flat-ironed NG? I wasn't sure at first, but confirmed it this week on my 6 weeks post relaxed 4A roots. This makes sense due to the water content, I presume. Now I will be putting it on my scalp after my shampoo/DC/roller-set dries, but BEFORE I flat-iron my NG twice per week. Can use more frequently in the weeks following a touch-ups. Any similar experiences?

that is how it happens to me. It is like no growth for a long period of time and then BOOM it starts. I noticed that when I 1st started to use it and also after I relaxed.
Also, I also get a lot of itching, as well.

Re: : Miconazole Nitrate
Daktarin is the one you want, the one in the green and white tube. I got mine from superdrug but got it from behind the counter from the pharmacist (they didn't ask me any questions), as the others in the store were the athlete's foot one and I didn't want that one.
loonatick said:So does Daktarin definitely have Miconazole Nitrate in it?
If so im about to buy some
Is it the dual action cream or the Gold one (this one has 2% ketoconazole)

Re: : Miconazole Nitrate
I had never heard about this hair method until I went home on vacation last month and a lot of the females in my family were using it. It does seem to work but I will wait to see if there is any long term effects of using the products. My scalp is very sensitive and some items tend to have a different effect on my hair,
