Fwd: RE: Facewash?

My doctor had this to say:

>The same types of shampoos that treat seborrhea of the hair
>can treat your face. [See below for more.]

My question is, aren’t there different types of dandruff
shampoo with entirely different ‘active ingredients’?

The active ingredient in Denorex Medicated Dandruff Shampoo
is now Salicylic Acid 1.8% (they no longer use coal tar).

I had to stop using DENOREX as I had quite a reaction to
it … it made my dandruff WORSE and irritated my face just
from the contact … yet I am not allergic to Salicylic Acid.


???

So, what type of dandruff shampoo is NOT like DENOREX?

Thanks!

Yours,
Richard of Atlanta

    You’re right. There are several anti-seborrheic shampoos with
    different active ingredients:
    Head and Shoulders: Zinc pyrithione
    Head and Shoulders Intensive Treatment: Selenium Sulfide 1%
    Exsel shampoo: Selenium Sulfide 2.5%
    Nizoral: ketoconazole
    Neutrogena: coal tar

    Some may work for you, some may not, but my understanding is that all
    can be used safely on the face.
