Selsun

✅ What it is & what it treats

• This product contains selenium sulfide 2.5% w/v, formulated as a topical suspension (or sometimes as medicated shampoo) for application to scalp or skin. 

• Its primary uses include treating dandruff, Seborrheic Dermatitis (a chronic scalp/skin condition causing flaking and itching), and Tinea Versicolor (a fungal skin infection that causes discolored patches). 

• Selenium sulfide works by slowing down the abnormal over‑growth of skin cells on the scalp or skin surface, reducing flaking, itching, and scaling. 

🧴 How to Use It (Typical Regimen)

• For scalp conditions (dandruff / seborrheic dermatitis): wet your hair, massage the suspension/shampoo into the scalp to lather, leave for about 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. 

• Frequency: normally twice weekly for the first 2 weeks, then once weekly or as needed by your doctor. 

• For skin fungal infection (e.g. tinea versicolor): apply to the affected skin area (avoiding face/genitals), leave on for about 10 minutes, then rinse. Often this is done daily for a number of days as prescribed. 

• Always rinse thoroughly after application. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken/irritated skin. 

⚠️ Safety, Side‑Effects & Precautions

• Common side‑effects: scalp or skin irritation, dryness, sometimes temporary hair loss, or discoloration of grey/white hair. 

• Avoid use if skin is acutely inflamed, broken or has open wounds — absorption may increase and lead to more serious irritation or toxicity. 

• Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. 

• Do not use too frequently or leave on longer than directed — overuse increases risk of irritation or scalp sensitivity. 

• If you dye, bleach or chemically treat your hair: after using selenium sulfide you should rinse thoroughly. Many guidelines advise waiting at least a couple of days after Selsun use before such treatments. 

• For pregnant or breastfeeding women: safety isn’t well established — better to consult a physician before use. 

🎯 When It’s Appropriate — Good Uses

You might consider using this product if you have:

• Persistent dandruff or scalp flaking that doesn’t respond to regular shampoos.

• Seborrheic dermatitis — itchy, flaky, red scalp/skin.

• Fungal skin infection (e.g. tinea versicolor) producing discolored patches or scaling.

Used correctly and intermittently, selenium‑sulfide suspension/shampoo is often effective at reducing flaking, itching, and helping restore normal scalp or skin condition.
