Can Protar-K Shampoo Be Used After Applying Onion Juice On The Scalp?
hi.... i have heard onion juice helps in regrowing new hair on the scalp....and also i suffer from psoriasi since years and have been using PROTAR K SHAMPOO......so my question is that can i try onion juice application onto my scalp and then after sometime sinse my hair using protar k shampoo....will i have any adverse effects?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Protar-K contains Ketoconazole 2 % w/v and coal tar 4 % w/v as ingredients. Ketoconazole is a synthetic anti-fungal medication used to prevent and treat skin and fungal infections. Coal tar is a keratolytic agent and is used for relieving itching, scaling, dryness and flaking of the skin caused due to dandruff, psoriasis and seborrhea. You can wait for the response to this therapy for your hair fall to stop as it could be caused due to fungal infection. If the hair fall continues, then you can apply onion juice as has been recommended for regrowth of the hair. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
