Question
Can I use Keto B ointment on my scalp for itching and gaps between my hair? Is it harmful or safe to use?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
