My son has a tinea capitus, i have used betadine shampoo and ketzol for his scalp, what can i use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam/prescribed med: Scalp ringworm, if confirmed , penetrates deep into the hair roots area where topical shampoos & creams will not reach. Successful treatment will require a prescribed medication taken orally, often for a month or more.
