The appearance of skin fungus is caused by the development of a certain group of microorganisms on the human body. Symptoms of the disease can be dryness and dullness, and if we talk about the hairline, then - loss of shine, hair loss, dandruff, constant itching. A common sign of fungus on the body is also peeling of the upper layers of the epithelium. With an advanced stage of a fungal infection, small bubbles, gray or yellow crusts may form on the affected areas.

One of the most effective treatments for infection is fungal shampoo.

Despite the abundance of their variations, names, each of them contains active components that neutralize the development and growth of the fungus:

• Ketoconazole;
• Piroctone Olamine;
• Cyclopirox Olamine;
• Zinc pyrithione.

Most instructions indicate that products containing the above components can be used not only as a preparation for hairy skin areas, but also as a shampoo against fungus on the body. The main drugs for the treatment of fungal infections are Nizoral, Tsinovit, Sebozol, Keto Plus.

"Nizoral" - effective shampoo against skin fungus

The component composition of the drug includes a high concentration of ketoconazole, which allows the agent to give a long-term effect.

The main indications for the use of Nizoral are:

• dandruff.

The effectiveness of the drug has been proven by dozens of clinical studies. The healing properties allow you to relieve itching, eliminate exfoliation. Due to the fact that the active components are not absorbed into the blood, the drug is absolutely harmless.

The course of treatment is at least one month. To eliminate the infection, it is recommended to apply shampoo twice a week, or in combination with a regular shampoo. Also, "Nizoral" is used for prophylaxis: for this purpose, it is necessary to wash the head or body with this drug once every two weeks.
