Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The pathogenesis of androgenic alopecia is not fully understood. A microbial-driven inflammatory reaction abutting on the hair follicles might participate in the hair status anomaly.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of our study was to determine if ketoconazole (KCZ) which is active against the scalp microflora and shows some intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity might improve alopecia.
METHOD:
The effect of 2% KCZ shampoo was compared to that of an unmedicated shampoo used in combination with or without 2% minoxidil therapy.
RESULTS:
Hair density and size and proportion of anagen follicles were improved almost similarly by both KCZ and minoxidil regimens.
The sebum casual level appeared to be decreased by KCZ.
CONCLUSION:
Comparative data suggest that there may be a significant action of KCZ upon the course of androgenic alopecia and that Malassezia spp. may play a role in the inflammatory reaction.
The clinical significance of the results awaits further controlled study in a larger group of subjects.
