About Selsun Suspension

Selsun Suspension is a topical medicated suspension formulated to treat skin and scalp conditions characterised by scaling, flaking, and itching. It is primarily suggested to manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea versicolour, which is a common fungal infection causing patches of discoloured skin. By targeting the underlying causes of these conditions, it helps restore skin and scalp health.

Because this is a topical treatment applied directly to the skin or scalp, its effectiveness relies heavily on consistent use as directed by your doctor. It is strictly for external use and does not involve food-related instructions. Making supportive lifestyle changes, such as avoiding high-heat styling tools and using mild, non-irritating hair care products, can significantly improve your results.

While using Selsun Suspension , you may experience mild side effects like local skin irritation, dry skin, or temporary hair shedding. If you notice severe burning, swelling, or blistering, you should stop using the product immediately and contact your doctor. It is always best to seek professional guidance if you experience any unexpected reactions.

Do not use this product if you have acute, severe skin inflammation or open wounds in the treatment area. If you have sensitive skin, allergies to topical ingredients, or generalised skin damage, discuss these conditions with your doctor before starting treatment. This ensures the medication is safe for your specific skin type.
This topical medicine can interact with chemical hair treatments such as dyes, bleaches, or perms, potentially causing hair discolouration. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing skin conditions in an elderly family member, consult your doctor or pharmacist to confirm if this treatment is appropriate.

Uses of Selsun Suspension

Your doctor may prescribe Selsun Suspension to help manage the following conditions:

  • Dandruff: Selsun Suspension effectively controls the scaling, flaking, and itching of the scalp associated with dandruff.
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis: It treats this inflammatory skin condition, which causes greasy, yellow scaling and redness on the scalp and face.
  • Tinea versicolour: It helps clear up this fungal skin infection, which causes patches of lighter or darker skin on the neck, chest, back, or arms.

Key Benefits

When used as directed, Selsun Suspension helps relieve symptoms of dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and tinea versicolour while supporting healthier skin and scalp.

  • Relieves itching and discomfort: Helps soothe irritated skin and reduce itching associated with fungal scalp and skin conditions.

From the Manufacturers

Directions for Use

  • Lotion/Suspension: Shake the suspension bottle well before use. For the treatment of skin infections like tinea versicolor, apply the suspension/lotion on the affected areas (except for face and genitals) and lather with a small amount of water. Leave it on the skin for 10 minutes and rinse with clean water.
  • Foam/Shampoo: Apply the advised amount usually of foam/shampoo on the scalp and produce lather with water. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and rinse with water thoroughly.

How Selsun Suspension Works

Selsun Suspension contains selenium sulfide, which works by reducing fungal overgrowth and slowing the production of skin cells. These actions help relieve flaking, scaling, itching, and other symptoms of dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and tinea versicolour. Selenium sulfide slows the growth of Malassezia, a yeast that naturally lives on the skin but can multiply excessively and contribute to dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and tinea versicolour. It also slows the turnover of skin cells, helping reduce the buildup of scales and flakes while allowing the skin to recover.
