There are different types and treatments for alopecia or hair loss. The condition is so life-altering and such a gut punch to one's self esteem, that the search for an effective treatment can send one down some rabbit holes. There is this notion that Monistat, an over-the-counter cream for vaginal yeast infection, is appropriate to treat scalp alopecia and that is just incorrect.

Monistat = for vaginal yeast infection treatment only.

Nizoral (generic ketoconazole) shampoo available over-the-counter = appropriate for scalp fungal treatment.

Prescription strength ketoconazole available as a shampoo, cream, gel or foam.

Selsun Blue over-the-counter = appropriate for dandruff caused by a fungus.
