If i have tenia versicolor is there a good medicated shampoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tinea versicolor is usually a collection of light, dark, or pink spots on the upper shoulders/back/chest, and arms. Use head and shoulders, nizoral, (ketoconazole) or selsun blue, as a body wash and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing. Repeat this 3 times a week.
