About SFL-K Anti Fungal Soap 75 gm

SFL-K Anti Fungal Soap 75 gm belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal,' primarily used to treat dandruff, localised tinea versicolor of the scalp, and seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff is a mild scalp condition that causes white or yellow flakes and itching, usually due to excess oil, fungal overgrowth, or sensitivity to hair products. Seborrheic dermatitis is a more severe form that can affect other oily areas like the face, ears, and chest, leading to red, inflamed skin with greasy, yellowish scales.

SFL-K Anti Fungal Soap 75 gm contains Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione. Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that disrupts the fungal cell membrane, preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi, while zinc pyrithione is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that inhibits fungal and bacterial growth, reducing scalp irritation and flaking. Their combined action helps control scalp infections, reduce inflammation, and restore scalp health.
