Tips for treatment
●Keep the scalp clean
Always keep the scalp clean. However, since dryness also causes itching, refrain from shampooing too much.
●Apply frequently
Applying a large amount all at once does not increase the effect.
●Reduce gradually
Once symptoms subside, gradually reduce the number of applications.

– Do not use on areas without symptoms.
– If symptoms are slow to heal, or if symptoms recur chronically, we recommend consulting a doctor.
