Selenium sulfide shampoos are a type of medicated shampoo that are designed to treat a variety of scalp conditions. These shampoos contain an active ingredient called selenium sulfide, which has antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help to alleviate symptoms of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other scalp conditions. Selenium sulfide shampoos are available in different strengths and formulations to suit different needs, and they are often recommended by dermatologists and other healthcare professionals to help manage scalp issues. It targets fungi causing dandruff, controls flaking, clears away build- up of flakes and relieves from itching and irritation

Selsun Blue was probably the most effective shampoo available OTC once upon a time. These were in the bad old days when Head and Shoulders was the only viable alternative *shudders*. Selenium sulfide shampoos were first developed as an alternative to sulfur, as the two are chemically very similar, and sulfur was associated with irritation and poor patient compliance. The chemists Slinger and Hubbard are credited with discovering that a 2.5% suspension had the most therapeutic benefit, with the least absorption [3]. Selenium sulfide shampoos are particularly useful for this condition because they are licensed for children over 5 – ketoconazole is licensed from adolescence.

What is selenium sulfide shampoo used for? And if it doesn’t work, board-certified dermatologist Adam J. Friedman, MD, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology and director of dermatologic research, Albert Einstein College of Medicine explains via the AAD, “For most people, dandruff does not require medical attention. However, sometimes the flaking and itching that appears like dandruff is actually a medical condition, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections of the scalp, or eczema. If you continue to have symptoms after using a dandruff shampoo, consult a board-certified dermatologist.” Dandruffis a skin condition that causes flaking of the scalp skin. Symptoms include skin flakes on the scalp, hair, eyebrows, shoulders, and itchy scalp. Dandruff can be caused by irritated/oily skin, the development of fungus on the scalp, dry skin, sensitivity to hair care products like shampoos or other hair treatments, and skin conditions like psoriasis. Avoid overusing the styling tools like blow dryers, curling rods, and chemical dying, which can cause loss of natural hair oils and cause dandruff and hair fall.

A brief history of Selenium Sulfide Selsun Shampoo is a medicated shampoo used to treat dandruff and sebhorrhoeic dermatitis (a greasy, crusting, itching scalp caused by excess oil). There are other anti-fungal conditions that selenium sulfide is used for. Pityriasis Versicolor, for example, is caused by an imbalance of yeast normally found on the skin. Selenium shampoos are recommended to treat this condition by specialist dermatology groups. Studies have found both ketoconazole and selenium sulfide are more effective than placebo [6]. In addition, Tinea capitis (ringworm) is a common fungal infection. Due to an absence of high-quality evidence, treatment guidelines have been agreed by UK and EU specialist groups (BAD, HPA, and ESPD), based on experience and available clinical trials [7].This is a follow up from an earlier study which found “Both ketoconazole 2% shampoo and selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo are effective in the treatment of moderate to severe dandruff; however, ketoconazole 2% shampoo appears to be better tolerated.” [9] Only apply to the scalp avoid getting it into your eyes, if this occurs wash immediately with cold water.
