Selenium sulfide shampoo is a medicated shampoo primarily used to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by reducing the production of natural oils in the scalp and slowing the growth of yeast that can cause flaking and itching. This shampoo is also used to treat tinea versicolor, a fungal infection that causes discolored patches on the skin. Regular use of selenium sulfide shampoo helps to control scalp conditions, alleviate symptoms, and maintain a healthy scalp environment.

Selenium sulfide shampoos are available in different concentrations—typically 1% for over-the-counter (OTC) products and 2.25% for prescription-strength treatments

Selenium sulfide shampoo is typically recommended for use two times per week, and not for daily use, to avoid potential irritation or over-drying of the scalp

To maximize effectiveness, selenium sulfide shampoo should be left on the scalp or affected skin area for about 5-10 minutes before rinsing off

Prolonged or frequent use of selenium sulfide shampoo may lead to temporary discoloration of the hair or scalp, especially if the hair is light-colored

Selenium Sulfide Shampoo Medication Description
Selenium sulfide shampoo is a prescription medication treatment typically used to manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and certain fungal infections such as tinea versicolor. It works by reducing the production of natural oils in the scalp and slowing the growth of yeast that can cause flaking, itching, and irritation. By controlling yeast overgrowth and excess oil, selenium sulfide helps maintain a healthier scalp environment and improve symptoms over time.

In addition to scalp conditions, selenium sulfide can be prescribed for skin infections caused by tinea versicolor, which leads to discolored patches on the skin.
