Nizoral is extremely harsh on the hair. I had a prescription when I was 11. My hair sounded like rice crispy treats basking in warm milk.
I know the doctor prescribed it. I know I'm not a doctor, but I would NOT. I use Miconazole Nitrate with no irritation.
"Ketoconazole,29 sulconazole and oxiconazole30 require only once-daily application because of their long durability in the superficial layers of the skin. Clotrimazole, miconazole, and econazole require twice-daily application."
Ketoconazole is also available in cream form. I would ask the doc about that because that shampoo is like turpentine.
If it works out as well as everyone says it does I'm going to look back on these last few months and be like "why didn't I listen to JeterCrazed? WHY?!?" 
That is all.

I was told to call back at the end of the month, so I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me.Wow not much I can add you ladies are all on point! I also have long term scalp damage even 4 yrs after my last perm. I can't tell you how many times my wack patch has gotten better and relapsed over the years. I'm on the upswing again at the momentusing esential oil therapy, vigorous scalp massages and small tweaks in my diet (finally figured out that DAIRY is not a friend to my scalp either!)
Just stick with whichever method you choose to re-grow. Consistency is key.
Hi again everyone,
I just got the results back from the dermatologist and they say it's early traction alopecia so it can definitely be treated. @jeter, I stopped the nizoral after your recommendation and have started cowashing more often and doing baking soda washes. I'll keep you all updated on my progress
Anyone else have updates?

Growth is still much slower than the rest of my hair, but everything is all filled in. It's so nappy back there, jeezus!!
I'm gonna start training it like I did last time. I'm annoyed that this is a routine, but at least I have a regimen.
After going to the derm I have seen a complete turn-around. My scalp was in REALLY bad shape when I first went to her. I no longer have the itching, my hair is finally growing in what used to be a bald patch. It stated off growing slower than the rest of my hair but now I am pretty sure it's growing consistently now. Very, very satisfied with my results. I can only image what my head would look like if I didn't seek medical attention. It was something I put off for too long as it was. I am extremely careful about wearing any pulling hairstyles now or adding any extra hair like extensions. I have worn extensions for years without any visible problems but I worry that they could be causing harm in the long run; sometimes when we don't see an immediate problem we believe there is no problem.
I went to the dermatologist today and he did a biopsy. It hurts a lot of now...

I'm getting ready to do a big chop and just wear a wig. I can't deal with it anymore.
