Please assist. scalp very dry and covered in small white sores. advantan scalp lotion and eucerin shampoo not helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dandruff vs fungal: Advantan scalp solution contains an anti-inflammatory topical steroid and Eucerin is a moisturizer. Dandruff and fungal infection are more likely which can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoo and an antifungal shampoo, respectively
