    I'll join in again on this one. I used the Rite Aid brand 3-day miconazole cream 1x per week for quite a while, and had excellent growth from it. I got concerned because of the shedding I noticed so I stopped the treatment.

    In the last few weeks I've been annoyed by dry, flaky, itchy scalp to such an extent that I went back to the Miconazole, same brand and strength. Also my cat has some patches of broken hair that he seems to be itching, so I fear ringworm or some such thing. We're both using the Miconazole now.

    The cream completely stopped my itching and flakes. I notice no increase in shedding, so from before that must have been seasonal. I'm still waiting for an obvious improvement in the cat's symptoms.

    thanks Eve,
    I'll suspected that the warning was in reference to the MN as it is the only active ingredient in both daktarin and monistat; and most people on here seem to tolerate monistat quite well. I'll give the UK brand a go for around a month and will report my findings.

    The ladies on this site seem to have had amazing results using this product and I was wondering if anyone knows why this warning exists and how I could best avoid getting it on my hair? Thanks, Iona
    im a nurse and asked a dermatologist about applying daktarin to the scalp, he said it is perfectly fine to do this and in fact is sometimes prescribed with treating ringworm of the scalp, which is a fungal infection.

    I found when i was applying it to dry hair loads got on my hair, so now i apply the straight cream to wet hair and have had no problems, HTH and welcome to LHC hope you stop around and get some great results x

    I have an idea for application if anyone is willing to try!!!
    Get those glue tubes, that have a sort of mesh circle on the application. You screw that off from the tube and empty the liquid glue and wash out really well (probably a good idea to buy a water based glue) and then once it is all washed put your MN in it and then screw the cap on and apply! I think it could work! I almost bought some of those glues today!

    Jojo your results sound really good. Please tell me - how often do you apply it? ...and do you water it down and apply from a bottle or put the stuff on your fingertips? I hope you keep up the good growth!!

    I hadn't thought about it until reading JoJo's comments, but I'm not shedding much either. I used to shed gobs, shake the head and watch the hair fly shedding, but nearly none for the last few weeks. Cool!
    Am not gonna measure till Sunday, can't wait!

    I have not tried this, I've been scared to due to skin sensitivity.
    I do remember the old thread. Anyone form the old thread.
    I remember a few women who had bald patches and thin spots
    that they wanted to test this on. Any of you here and have you
    had any luck growing back their problem areas?
