Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

I've been dealing with hairfall for a while and I've been relying on Keraglo Eva for the past seven years. Before that, I took Keraglo Forte. The thing is, if I stop using them even for just a couple of weeks, my hair starts falling out at a crazy rate. I'm concerned about potential side effects and I'm really hoping to find another solution. Do you think switching to homeopathy might help?
