Most scalp fungal infections can be treated with topical over-the-counter (OTC) treatments. These come in the form of ointments, shampoos, or foams such as fluconazole. It is better to take a Dermatologist consult before using OTC medications.

Question

I've been using Glyco 6 for a few weeks now to help with my acne, as my dermatologist recommended. But I've noticed that my skin tone seems to be getting duller. I'm confused if this is an effect of the Glyco 6 or something else. I make sure to use sun protection when I'm outside, so I'm not sure what's happening. Could the Glyco 6 be causing this or should I be looking into other factors?
