Scalpicin Max Strength Scalp Itch Treatment, 1.5 oz.

A great anti-inflammatory, hydrocortisone in a liquid form. In the last months or so, I developed a sensitivity to 2 kinds of hair products: hair spray and spray-on dry shampoos. I only use dry shampoo rarely, but I've used hair spray for decades without any itching or burning, until just recently. Now I try to use a leave-in product when I have the time to set or blow dry my hair, as there are many which do not cause irritation. Hair spray is another matter. I only use that as a last resort, but in instances where I don't have time to style my hair, I may need to use some spray to keep my just past shoulder-length hair "in line". Anything longer than a buzz-cut would require some interference it to keep it from looking unruly. Rather than suffer the itching/ burning that inevitably follows using hairspray, I apply a bit of this to my scalp, and voilà! The Scalpicin blocks any inflammation reaction. Because it's as clean as water, there's no gooey residue like a cream would leave. An EXCELLENT product.

Itchy scalp cured for at least 8 hours, smell is strong but works very well.

Works very well

This medicated scalp treatment really helped calm the constant itching and flakiness I was dealing with. I noticed improvement within a few days, and it didn’t irritate my skin like some other products have. It’s definitely strong and gets the job done. I’m only giving it 4 stars because the price is a bit high and it can slightly dry out my hair if I use it too often. Still, it’s a solid treatment that works when nothing else does.

It worked from the first application. Just mild burning sensation at first time. But itching and flaking went away. Cheers! for the people who made this product for OTC.

Really quite surprised as to how well this works! Tried various other applications with no success

I use this almost every day. I started having had flakiness on the back of my scalp, and this was about the only thing that worked (ketoconazole shampoo helps a little, but not as much as this). The flakes are pretty much gone now. Other liquid hydrocortisone products are out there now, but I don't like the Nizoral one as much because it has a bit of a smell. I haven't tried any other brands yet.

great!
