What alternative infection-fighting shampoos can my sister use to treat the pus-filled bumps on her scalp, since the prescribed Betadine Ad povidone 4% solution shampoo has been discontinued?
Since her prescribed Betadine Ad povidone 4% shampoo is discontinued, she can look for a generic povidone-iodine scalp wash. Other highly effective generic options to discuss with her doctor include generic ketoconazole shampoo or generic selenium sulfide shampoo, which help clear up scalp infections. In the meantime, keeping the scalp clean and avoiding popping the bumps will help prevent further irritation. Please have her consult her doctor to find the best generic match for her specific condition.
