Use zinc shampoo, dermatologist tells you how to choose shampoo & conditioner for scalp inflammation

What shampoo should I use?

Most scalp inflammation can be prevented through shampooing. Ingredients in scalp shampoos include zinc, selenium, ketoconazole, and ciclopirox. Among them, shampoos containing zinc, or zinc, are used daily, and products containing selenium, ketoconazole, and cyclopirox are additionally used 1-2 times a week to significantly reduce scalp inflammation.

There are products that can be purchased without a prescription among domestic shampoos, such as Head & Shoulders Shampoo (zinc product), Novid Shampoo (zinc product), Nizoral Shampoo (ketoconazole product), and Cebiprox shampoo (cyclopirox product), so it would be a good idea to look for them.

Do I have to use a rinse aid?

Shampoo protects the scalp but damages the hair, while conditioner makes the hair shiny but causes flaking on the scalp. Therefore, those who have scalp inflammation should avoid using conditioner, and conversely, those who grow hair should use conditioner additionally. Because of this, those who grow their hair while suffering from scalp inflammation may have a lot of worries.

If you are like this, you can use an oily scalp shampoo only on the scalp, but you can use a separate conditioner on the hair below the ears. On the top of the ears, there is usually healthy hair that has just grown, while on the lower ears, there are hairs that have deteriorated over time and need to be maintained.

How many times a day should I wash my hair?

If you don't have scalp inflammation, you can wash your hair according to the degree of scalp sebum, but if you have scalp inflammation, we recommend that you wash your hair 1~2 times a day.
