I am a bit new but knew about the board for almost 2 years. I have tried mtg for 8 months, surge for about 6, monistat for about 5. I officially say no more because not everything works the same for everyone. I posted about balding to one side a month ago. I dont know the cause but I developed some serious scalp problems. No more baggying for me as well. I used to sleep in a plastic cap but no more of that. Today is the first day, I am at work without running to the bathroom to dig into my scalp. It felt like I had little things running up and down below my scalp. the endless itch and the flaking and the dryness that begun a month or so ago is easing. I slept without the cap this weekend and just left my hair loose, forgot about the satin cap and voila, Sunday I had no itch and today I have no itch. I started using nizoral last week but the itch didnt subside fully. I dont know what to think. maybe the cap can breathe bacteria or maybe the antifungals that used to work killed the good bacteria as well, so my scalp was defenseless when they stopped working. I dont know but I combed the internet every night trying to find a solution. Now I am just using castor oil on my scalp and thats it. I think I got some growth from the potions but I am nixing all of them. I will create a siggy with my pics later (i lost my usb cable). Do you think these products work for a time and stop or do you think they continue with the antibacterial action?
