Suggest Cheaper Treatment For Rashes On Head

Good afternoon, My name is Garth Sambrano and I have some rashes in my head that look terrible. went and saw dermatologist last week and she took a sample and did a couture. She thinks I may be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis and recommended a prescribed shampoo for me to use plus Cordran lotion. My problem is the lotion is very expensive for me to buy and wondered is there something cheaper or genetic I can get that does the same job but not at the cost? The rashes I have are scally and white and it makes me feel uncomfortable with myself

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

If you are a diagnosed case of seborrheic dermatitis, you need to take antifungal shampoo. If you find the prescribed shampoo costly, you may buy candid tv lotion. it is relatively cheaper. This you have to use on alternate day basis, leave the shampoo over scalp for 5 minutes before you wash off.


I hope it helps. If you have further query, you may ask me.
