Hi,


Thanks for your post on HCM



I do understand your pain and discomfort



As per your history is concerned you can use this shampoo twice weekly on head but you need to check his scalp with your local doctor first and he will clarify you that any fungal infection like scalp ring worm present or not, if present he may advise you oral [griseofulvin] twice a day for 6 weeks and it is a prescription drug.use a separate Comb for him 'always'. Permanent use is not required at all but during infection time you can use it without any side effects.



I hope i was able to address your question, so if you have further clarification do not hesitate to ask me and if you are satisfied with my reply please give your valuable feedback.



Wish you a good health



Thanks
