Hi for last 2 3 years I have been loosing hairs as now having very less hairs , someone suggested me to use sebowash shampoo and I have been using it for last 2 weeks and feeling some changes and growing hairs ..I just wanted to know for how long I can use this shampoo...coz I have read that it contains some steroids
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Sebowash shampoo which you have been using contains 'fluocinolone', which is a synthetic topical corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory, anti-itching and vasoconstrictive properties. It is used to treat seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp. Common side effects include: dryness, folliculitis, acne, allergic dermatitis, secondary infection, skin atrophy, stretch marks, sweat or heat rash, burning, itching, irritation and hypopigmentation. You should use your Sebowash Shampoo once daily for 2 weeks and then you can reduce to once a week to prevent itching and flaking of dandruff. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
