Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic.
You should take continuous treatment (not pulse) for a week followed by once a week for minimum 8 weeks or until cured. My experience is more with Fluconazole, (50 mg a day followed by 150 mg a week) but I guess others should also work.
The problem is the fungi lie deep inside the skin and can be accessed only by oral treatment.
You can also simultaneously do local treatment--first gently rub the scalp with your fingers dipped in warm oil to bring out the fungi to the surface, then use any anti-fungal lotion (gently rub in), leave for 20 minutes and then wash with mild shampoo. Repeat this twice a week.
Feel free to ask further.
