Safe: But what is the point? No benefit to rubbing on one and then rubbing on another. Most effective treatment is Fluconazole pill, 2 pills a week apart. It will return, typically late summer. Use a dandruff shampoo on body in shower every day to inhibit the organism.

No benefit: There's not any benefit to mixing them, and you can increase the side effects.
