Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo

Nizoral shampoo to me is the Emperor of the anti-dandruff shampoos. I have used this now for three years. I am 46 and have suffered from dandruff for over 25 years. During those years I have used various anti-dandruff shampoos of various strengths and duration. All have worked temporarily; some for a long time others for a few months. My dandruff has always returned, it seems to get immune to the shampoo, and builds up a resistance. I have checked this and apparently dandruff is the result of yeast, grease, or fungus, or all of them. This results in the flakes and bits of dead skin. So if it ... more

I love my fella. To me, He's gorgeous, both on the inside, and on the outside...apart from one little thing. He has in incredibly dry scalp. Other men have dandruff, mine has full blown leprosy of the head, and bits of dried up skin keep falling off, all over the bed, all over the chairs, but most obvious of all, all over those black T-shirts he loves to wear so much.

Dandruff is not contagious, nor related to diet, but stress and being run down can make it worse if you are prone to it. I have never actually suffered from the normal flaky dandruff that ... more

This is an embarrasing op to write, as I keep imagining people will be reading it and seeing me as some dandruff ridden freak, due to the connotations that dandruff has...you know, middle aged men in suits with dandruff on their navy blue shoulders, greasy-haired teens showering white flakes all over their unwashed black hoodies...but that is NOT what it is really like! I have never had this problem before,although I have suffered from very sensitive skin which meant other parts of it went crumbly...but thats another op, probably on E45 (which, unfortunately, you cannot put into your hair)but ... more
