Are fungal infections/yeast the main infection on the scalp or are there similar infections? and is nizoral (ketoconazole) good to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical Antifungal: Nizoral (ketoconazole) is ketoconazol which is a treatment for fungal infection. It is available in tropical preparations and shampoo. It is used for scalp fungal infections that can lead to problems including hair loss. Similar infection in the skin can occur anywhere in the body and can be treated with ketoconazol.
