Anti-Fungal Shampoo for Folliculitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Scalp Psoriasis - Relieves Itchy & Dry Scalp

It's been a couple of months of use, but I must say, it really works! I bought it as a last ditch effort, as I was fighting a really bad outbreak of folliculitis along my neck line, as well as various places on my scalp. I've attributed to the use of my CPAP mask, as it was occurring where the strap was touching. The dermatologist prescribed a couple of different topical medications, but none of them worked. I also have naturally oily skin.I'd be the first to say that I don't particularly believe that any of the "natural" ingredients that are in this product really does anything--there is no real scientific research that proves any of them are effective for anything, a bunch of hooey for "crunchy" people looking for "natural" solutions. But there is an ingredient in this product that provides real relief and effective treatment.The product image here showing the ingredients do not match what is actually listed on the bottle. See my attached photo. The primary ingredients are basically water, soap, salt, citric acid, menthol and SALICYLIC ACID, something conveniently left out of their photo. And guess what that is--it's used for treating and preventing acne along with other skin conditions, like warts, psoriasis, calluses and corns. It's a mild exfoliant that breaks down a thin layer of skin and germs that live on and in that layer. This is real science, not a bunch of natural extracts that does who knows what, if anything. But, hey, this works in our favor for a change!But not everything has to be about science and efficacy. The other ingredients may have other benefits. The menthol is certainly really nice, providing a wonderful cooling effect and relief from hot, itchy scalp. It's tingly, and I love it. The scent of the shampoo is great--it's mild and not unpleasant, nothing overpoweringly fake, no strong artificial smelling perfumes added--a very gender-neutral scent.It may seem expensive for what looks like a small bottle, but a little goes a long way. Because it doesn't have a ton of fillers like most store-bought shampoos, I find that you only need a small amount to produce the same amount of lather. The key is to massage it onto your scalp, not just wash your hair with it. And once your condition clears up, I find that I only need to use it every other day, or even every two or three days. In two months, I'm not even halfway through the bottle.I hope this was helpful. Give it a shot!

All my life, I have had this reoccurring issue of painful, itchy, puss filled bumps on my scalp. It started getting so bad that I couldn't even do the simplest of things like brush or move my hair without having pain or bleeding from my scalp. I knew it was time that I had to try something or otherwise I wouldn't be able to grow out my hair to a long dream length (because I was having A LOT of hair fall and blocked hair follicles). I went to my not-so-nice dermatologist and he didn't even look at my scalp, just told me it sounded like dermatitis and prescribed me Ketoconazole shampoo... Seriously, I have the holy grail of oily hair and this stuff STILL dried out my hair so much and made it very frizzy and crusty! AND IT STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! So again it was time for something new. I wasn't really sure what I had, so I suppose I was self diagnosing myself, but I swear to you every single symptom and photo pointed to Folliculitis. Alas, I turned to my tried and true, Amazon. Within the first search this shampoo came up and it was the only one with the best reviews, so of course I had to try it after reading multiple positive testimonies. I give my solid truth on everything when I say THIS STUFF WORKS!!! After the first wash my hair was SO SOFT and smelled like a baby!! Instantly my itchiness went away. After keeping a routine of washing my hair 3-4 times in one week, almost all my bumps went away! Continuing the second week, BUMPS BEGONE! So here what I did, I started off washing my hair for 4 days out of the first week. I double cleansed each time (look up the benefits of double cleansing for the scalp). The second week I washed my hair 2 times out of the week. I highly suggest using this shampoo with a good scalp brush for washing and possibly a build-up shampoo. I usually use the OUAI detox shampoo first and then finish off with this shampoo second. Thus the meaning of a double cleanse. Fast forward almost a year later, I have managed to grow out my hair to a wonderful length in a very healthy state with little to no hair fall! This is my third bottle so far since this shampoo lathers so easily and goes a long way! I promise you won't be disappointed by this! PHARMBANNER please don't ever stop making this stuff or change the formula!!!!
