Brief Answer:
Ketoconazole shampoo, tablet fluconazole

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
I would recommend you to use a ketoconazole 2 percent shampoo twice weekly and take anti fungal like tablet fluconazole 200 mg twice weekly for 6 weeks.
Oral anti fungals are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
You can discontinue the tablet but continue with the shampoo.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
