I first bought this shampoo based off internet research and bulletin's and reading about various types of dandruff and acne issues on the back (bacne). On a well-known website for dermatology from a famous university there I saw pictures of acne on the back and neck that was treated in the traditional way for acne but unsuccessfully. It was later noted that this acne was not truly acne but rather a reaction to a specific type fungi/yeast that lives on the oil produced by the body. Of particular areas this thrives is the upper back and chest, and the triangle area directly above the cleft of the buttocks. Also on the scalp, wherever it is present the person has what seems to be deep, painful itchy zits. The people who had this type of fungi were all successfully treated with Ketoconazole. Ketoconazole is POWERFUL anti-fungal (belonging to the "azole" family). This shampoo is highly effective against this type of dandruff that may be untreatable with other types of dandruff shampoos. I bought this and the zits and bacne COMPLETELY WENT AWAY. The bad thing is, that I start to get acne almost immediately upon stopping its use. The good thing is, that this is the FIRST summer in years that I have been able to wear tank tops! Also, no more itchy bumps on my head and around my lower hairline. It also seemed to really make a difference with the acne I was getting on my face! I have been using it as a body wash for my back and upper chest as well as shampoo. This is how I got rid of my bacne and acne on my chest as well as the dandruff type symptoms on my head. I am thinking about using it as a face wash now too! BTW, you can get the 2% Ketoconozole shampoo from a dermatologist, but its usually not necessary. Try Nizoral first! Since it is anti-fungal, try using it for Tinea Versicolor, which is also a fungal based rash. (Results in patches of de-pigmented areas on the skin). Let the shampoo lather up and let it sit on your skin for 2 minutes before rinsing off. I can't stop using this stuff..I tried everything on my back, salycilic acid sprays, benzoil peroxide bars and creams. All I got from those were more zits or stained/bleached t-shirts. I am 34 years old, and I have no idea why I have these skin problems since I hit about age 30. I am attributing it to some sort of hormoneal imbalance. Ketoconazole also has anti-androgenic effects, and many body builders use it on their back and hair to prevent the thinning of hair and acne that results from their steroid abuse.

I loved the prescription version years ago, but this doesn't perform nearly as well and is almost as expensive. It's also a touch harsh on the scalp. The fragrance they use to cover the medicinal smell is pleasant, but my scalp is still flaky so I will not repurchase.

    Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

    Use this only once-in-a-while, when flakiness appears on scalp. After three or four shampoos with Nizoral over a period of a week, I go back to my regular shampoo and it is usually many months before the flakiness appears again.

      It's the best shampoo I've found, OTC or prescription, to help control (though not completely) my seborrhea. It works best if you don't use a conditioner after it.

          Does a great job of removing dry flakes and moisturizes.

              Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

              I have had a dandruff problem for 15 years and have used almost every AD shampoo, but no shampoo ever worked. I thought I would have to live with dandruff for the rest of my life. However,I recenlty read about Nizoral shampoo and quickly ordered 2 bottles. After about 3 weeks of use, the dandruff is almost completely gone. I also had some flaking around the sides of my nose and that is also gone. This shampoo works and I only have to use it twice a week. The shampoo is not that expensive and one bottle should last me several months. I highly recommend Nizoral to anyone who has a dandruff problem.

              Nizoral is good, however after about 5-6 shampoos, my hair goes limp and I need to use a clarifiing shampoo to get out the build up. Another con--it's way over priced.

                  I have very dry skin on my head (probably from previous chemotherapy) and get a build up of skin cells that only Nizoral can alleviate. Nizoral is a necessary product but should be used with caution as it has some toxins in it. Other than these caveats, I like this product and will continue to use it.

                                My scalp can get flaky when it is the dry season, this shampoo has stopped the itching and the flakes. I only use it once or twice a week. Very happy I tried it out, highly recommended.
