Medicated shampoo is designed to treat specific scalp conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or fungal infections. Here's a general guide on how to use it:
1. Read the Instructions: Always start by reading the label for specific directions and any precautions.
2. Wet Your Hair: Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp with warm water.
3. Apply the Shampoo: Use the recommended amount, usually a small dollop, and massage it into your scalp. Focus on the affected areas.
4. Leave It On: Allow the shampoo to sit on your scalp for the time specified on the label, often 3-5 minutes, to let the active ingredients work.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair and scalp completely to remove all traces of the shampoo.
6. Frequency: Use as directed, which might be daily or a few times a week, depending on your condition.
Consult a healthcare provider if you have any concerns or if symptoms persist.
