Selsun Selenium Sulfide 2.5% Dandruff Shampoo 120ml

What it is

This is a medicated shampoo whose main active ingredient is selenium sulfide 2.5% — a strong antifungal agent. It’s formulated to treat scalp and skin conditions where fungus and rapid skin cell buildup cause flaking, itchiness, redness, and scaling.

✅ What it can help with

Selenium sulfide 2.5% shampoo is commonly used for:

• Dandruff (persistent flaking and itching)

• Seborrheic dermatitis (chronic scalp inflammation with flakes)

• Tinea versicolor / pityriasis versicolor (fungal skin infection causing discolored patches)

📦 Product example

• Selsun Selenium Sulfide 2.5% Dandruff Shampoo 120 ml – medicated shampoo for dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis and fungal skin issues. Available in Bangladesh and online stores around ৳1,200-1,500.

🪄 How it works

Selenium sulfide slows down the growth of yeast and other fungus on your scalp or skin and also helps reduce abnormal skin cell growth that causes flaking.

📋 Typical directions (general guidance)

1. Wet hair and scalp with lukewarm water.

2. Apply enough shampoo to lather the affected areas.

3. Leave on for ~2–3 minutes (or as directed).

4. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Use twice weekly for 2 weeks, then reduce to once weekly or as your doctor suggests.

⚠️ For treating skin fungal infections (like tinea versicolor), application may be on the body (avoid face/genitals) and left on longer — always follow product instructions or your doctor’s advice.

⚠️ Important safety notes

• For external use only — do not swallow.

• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately with water if it happens.

• Do not use on broken, inflamed, or irritated skin.

• Overuse or leaving it on longer than recommended can increase irritation or dryness.

• In some rare cases, it can temporarily lighten very light or chemically treated hair.

📉 Possible side effects

Most people tolerate medicated selenium sulfide shampoos well, but some may experience:

• Mild scalp irritation or redness

• Dryness or oiliness

• Temporary hair thinning or hair color change
  If you notice persistent irritation or unusual symptoms, stop use and consult a health professional.
