Keep ketoconazole away from your eyes. Stop it and call your clinician if you have strong irritation, a spreading rash or swelling. Do not use the cream on open or infected skin unless your clinician says so.

Choosing the right plan for you

Your clinician chooses the shampoo or the cream, how often to use it, and for how long. Many people use it often at first, then less often to keep control.

Considerations include

  • The area affected
  • The cause of the flaking or rash
  • Past treatments and how they worked
  • Skin and scalp sensitivity
  • How often flares return

Duration set with your clinician

Ketoconazole shampoo

  • Used on the scalp, and sometimes the face or chest
  • Left on the skin for a few minutes, then rinsed
  • Often used for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
  • Used less often once the flaking is under control

Duration set with your clinician

Your clinician decides which option fits you. Durations are typical ranges, not promises.

How ketoconazole works

Ketoconazole targets the yeast and fungi on the skin

Dandruff and many fungal rashes involve yeasts and fungi that live on the skin. Ketoconazole blocks the substance that these organisms need to build their cell membrane. The membrane fails and they stop growing.

With fewer yeasts and less inflammation, flaking, redness and itch ease. Many people see change within a few weeks.

Possibly. You fill out a short health form, and a Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews your case. If Ketoconazole is right for you, your clinician sends a prescription to your pharmacy. Some people need in-person care instead, and your clinician decides.
