learn Hydrocortisone

How do you safely apply hydrocortisone cream or lotion to the scalp without overusing it? The over-the-counter hydrocortisone label sets the limits: a thin film on the affected patch, no more than three or four times a day, and no longer than seven days without a doctor's direction — and the scalp absorbs corticosteroids more than most skin, so prolonged use raises the risk of thinning skin.

learn Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole: Do I need a prescription to buy it? You can buy low-concentration ketoconazole over the counter, but higher concentrations require a prescription.
Is there a difference between 1% and 2% ketoconazole? The documented differences are strength and supply: 1% ketoconazole shampoo is sold over the counter while 2% is usually prescription-only, and almost all of the trial evidence — including a 2015 Cochrane review — was gathered on the 2% shampoo rather than in a head-to-head comparison of the two strengths.

learn Hair Transplant

How can I manage pain after a hair transplant? Use prescribed medications, over-the-counter pain relievers, and cold compresses to manage pain.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

What should I do before my scalp micropigmentation appointment? Most providers ask clients to skip alcohol and caffeine, and to avoid over-the-counter blood thinners, for 24-48 hours. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner without your doctor's approval.
