A member asked:
What is the best way to treat tenia versicolor? and where can i find selenium sulfide shampoos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Using selenium sulfide 5% is considered the routine treatment for this problem. The full strength (5%) is a prescription medication. Lesser strength products are available over the counter but seldom work effectively.
