A member asked:
What shampoo is recommended for someone with chronic scalp foliculitis condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See derm: see dermatologist to confirm dx and if it is folliculitis, would suggest one of several rx shampoos to help control the problem. Might be best to use combination of a steroid and an antifungal shampoo.
