selenium disulfide

Selenium disulfide is a medicated ingredient used in shampoos to treat dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis. It works by reducing the growth of yeast and fungi that can cause scalp irritation and flakes. When applied as a shampoo, it helps control scalp inflammation, flakes, and itching, promoting healthier scalp skin. Selenium disulfide is effective but should be used as directed, as overuse can lead to scalp dryness or discoloration of hair. It is a proven treatment that provides relief for scalp conditions associated with excess oil and fungal activity.
