 2  Fungal infection on feet. Red at site of use and burning side effect. Did not realise it was being caused by the cream until finally I realised the cream was making it worse not better. F 55 43 days

 5  seborrheic dermatitis None. For yrs. I used Ketoconazole cream. It didn't work. Then I read about Xolegel 2% Gel in a medical magazine. My doc prescribed it and -- WHAMO -- my skin is gorgeous. I can't believe how well it worked. The gel works as a much better vehicle for this medication. F 22 2 years

 5  dandruff Side Effects: There is still dandruff on the back of my hair/scalp. Nizoral is the best I have ever tried. I have tried everything else, but doesn't work. Nizoral works however, I have still have a little bit of dandruff in the back of my scalp. I don't know what that means, however, I recommend trying Nizoral...but the price is around $14-$16, it is well worth it! F 25 8 months

 1  UNsymptomatic tinea versicolor ACUTE urticaria - head to toe - scalp - skin weals - itching - burning - warmth and redness - final stages of peeling - edema - very uncomfortable. Has been going on for 4 weeks and only just yesterday investigated possible side effects of ketoconazole and RXList.com notes Acute Urticaria as a KNOWN side effect to ketoconazole - but 2 doctors I went to - a PMC and a Dermatologist - both said I think it was the combination of treatment with ketaconazole with the Nizoral - not the Nizoral alone.

Has been going on for 4 weeks and only just yesterday investigated possible side effects of ketoconazole and RXList.com notes Acute Urticaria as a KNOWN side effect to ketoconazole - but 2 doctors I went to - a PCP and a Dermatologist - both said Please disregard previous comments ! ! ! Nizoral was prescribed with Atarax and that MAY have intensified the reaction, but the doc says no also. Either way - urticaria is a KNOWN side effect of ketoconazole taken by itself w/o other meds F 48 4 weeks
