How To Get Rid Of Liquid Discharge From Scalp?
My husband has a bad case of dandruff. But now his scalp is oozing a clear liquid and the smell is awful. Is there anything over the counter we can up to help this? He is constantly itching his head. And the oozing is so bad it clumps his hair together and dries up hard. Please help.

I can understand your concern.He can start using anti-fungal shampoos like Nizoral or Celsun or 8X daily.Avoid using regular shampoos which may leave the scalp dry and can aggravate the condition.Topical steroidal applications will help relieve the itching and scaling.If these are not improving his symptoms,its always better to see a specialist for further management.Hope my advise was helpful to you
