question from a user
Currently taking 150 weekly on test. I’ve noticed my scalp gets extremely itchy when I start to sweat. Is this a normal side effect.
AlphaMD's Answer
This isn't typically considered a normal side effect, but it can occur. Selenium sulfide shampoo, also called selsun blue, is often recommended — and it's worth mentioning to the provider overseeing your care. It helps by reducing the oils that cause this & a minor DHT blocker for the scalp.
