What Is Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo and Why It Matters for Scalp Health
Ketoconazole 2% shampoo is a medicated antifungal treatment commonly used to manage dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. This strength targets the root cause - the yeast Malassezia - reducing flaking, itching, and inflammation on the scalp.
For those dealing with persistent scalp issues, a ketoconazole shampoo 2 percent solution offers a more potent option than gentler over-the-counter formulas. Clinical guidance often recommends twice-weekly use for 2-4 weeks, followed by once-weekly maintenance to prevent recurrence.
