FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- For the treatment of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp.
Nizoral 2% Shampoo is for the treatment of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes harmless, scaling rash affecting the face, scalp and other areas. It is most likely to occur where the skin is oily.
Dandruff (also called ‘pityriasis capitis’) is an uninflamed form of seborrhoeic dermatitis. Dandruff presents as scaly patches scattered within hair-bearing areas of the scalp.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is believed to be an inflammatory reaction due to a combination of an over production of skin oil and a proliferation of a yeast called malassezia. The main species found in the scalp is Malassezia globosa. It produces toxic substances that irritate the skin.
