A member asked:
Have researchers discovered some over-the-counter shampoos for ringworm of the scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can try Nizoral (ketoconazole) 1% shampoo, though it is often not enough if you have a fungal infection involving the scalp. These infections are often in the follicles and require an oral medication to eliminate the infection.
