Folliculitis Anti-Fungal Shampoo

I started using this shampoo recently and wasn’t really expecting anything dramatic, but it actually ended up helping more than I thought it would. I picked it up after dealing with some irritation around my scalp and hairline that just wouldn’t go away. I had some small bumps and itchiness that would come and go, and it seemed worse whenever I was stressed or after long days when my scalp felt oily and uncomfortable. I had tried a few other products before this, including some medicated treatments, but nothing seemed to make a noticeable difference. I’ll admit I’m usually a little doubtful when products highlight a lot of “natural” ingredients because sometimes that feels more like advertising than actual effectiveness. But after using this for a few days in a row, I started noticing my scalp feeling calmer and less irritated. It seems like it does a really good job of cleansing the scalp and getting rid of buildup that can clog hair follicles and cause irritation. One thing I really like is how it feels when you use it. It has a light cooling sensation that makes your scalp feel refreshed, especially if it’s been itchy or irritated. It leaves a subtle tingly feeling that’s actually pretty soothing. The scent is also nice, it has a clean tea tree smell that feels fresh without being overpowering. When you first apply it, the scent is a little strong, but once you rinse it out and your hair dries it fades into a much softer, clean smell. Another thing I noticed is that you don’t need very much product for it to work well. Even though the bottle isn’t huge, a small amount lathers up nicely if you massage it into your scalp properly. Because of that, the bottle seems like it will last a while. After my scalp started improving, I didn’t feel like I had to use it every single day either. Using it every couple of days has been enough to keep things feeling balanced. Overall, I’m really glad I decided to give this shampoo a try. It ended up working better than several other things I had already tried. If you’re dealing with scalp irritation, bumps, or buildup and nothing else has helped much, this might be worth testing out. It definitely surprised me in a good way.

Has improved in span of week

Smells really bad and it didn't work for me

Title says it all. This stuff works. That’s really all you need to know. But here’s my long review if you want to know more… For the past few years, I was having this scalp issue. It had gradually become worse and worse - spreading over a larger area and even beginning on the right side (was originally on the left only.) I didn’t know what it was but I tried various shampoos and herbal/home remedies. Nothing worked. I finally went in to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as scalp folliculitis and gave me a prescription medicated shampoo and topical antibiotic. Still no relief. Some things I tried seemed to clear it up initially but never completely and never for more than a week or so. Then I found this shampoo. I have been using it for a month now and just bought another bottle. (ETA it’s actually been about seven weeks so almost two months.) The itchiness is gone. The flaking is gone. All but one sore is gone. I use the shampoo at least every other day. If I do go to day three, I will have some thicker flakes/scaling show up but they’re very mild and only in one small area (the original area where it all began). A single shampooing will clear them up. Very recently, I did have a couple very small sores flare up - but like the flaking, they immediately cleared up after I washed it. The last sore I have left still has improved but it simply will not go away. I’m thinking it’s a cyst, ingrown hair, or something like that and will require another trip for the doctor to actually remove whatever it is. But aside from that, it’s all cleared up! Things worth noting: It has sulfur in it. Most hair will love it but it can be damaging for some. My hair loves it and it has more volume than normal. It stinks. The scent sometimes lingers. Sometimes I will wash *just the length, not the scalp* with another shampoo. It doesn’t lather well. Occasionally it will a little bit if you apply a small amount of water and rub it in your hands before applying it to your scalp. But usually it doesn’t. This can be hard to get used to if you’re used to chemical-laden shampoos that lather a lot. Just put some of this shampoo on your fingers and rub it into your scalp well, concentrating on the worst areas. You may think it’s not going to clean your hair but it does! Just work it in well with your fingers. Once you have it worked in, let it sit for a few minutes. Then add a little bit of water and work it in a bit more before rinsing. Did I mention it actually works?!
