Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
I would recommend him to use a ketoconazole 2 percent shampoo twice weekly and apply beclomethasone and clotrimazole combination lotion on the itchy and scaly areas of the scalp twice daily.
Solaraze gel won't be effective in dealing with this condition.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
