How to Treat Fungus on Scalp

 


Treating a scalp fungus typically involves antifungal treatments. Here are steps you can take:


1. Medicated Shampoo: Use an antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione. Follow the instructions on the label, usually applying it 2-3 times a week.


2. Maintain Good Hygiene: Wash your hair regularly and keep your scalp clean. Avoid sharing combs, hats, or other personal items to prevent spreading the fungus.


3. Topical Antifungal Creams: If the infection is severe, your doctor may recommend an antifungal cream or ointment to apply directly to affected areas.


4. Prescription Medications: In some cases, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed by a healthcare professional for severe or recurrent infections.


5. Avoid Irritants: Avoid using harsh hair products and limit the use of hair dryers and styling tools that can irritate the scalp.


6. Monitor and Follow Up: Continue treatment until the infection clears up, and follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure it's completely gone.


If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
