I have fungus in my hair i.e scalp ringworm (tinea capitis) and I was wondering if this product would help with it. Nothing has worked so far.

Fungal defense is intended for fungal overgrowth in the GI tract (ie: candidia), the manufacturer makes no claims about its effects on the scalp or skin. Having taken it, it seems effective for GI issues, but I doubt sufficient concentrations of it reach the skin to matter.Ringworm of the scalp is tough to get rid of and takes some rather potent prescription anti-fungals. Good luck.

Hi, I'd recommend you look into essential oils. My husband had recurring ringworm infections. Prescription anti-fungal worked well the first time. It took longer to heal the second time, which was about 4 months after the first infection. Then it completely stopped working after that. I'm glad I found out about essential oils. Tea tree essential oil works for my husband, but there are many others that are good anti-fungal, too. Do your research and buy from a reputable brand. In the essential oil world, it is true that you get what you pay for. Good luck

I do not think you should use this for itchy scalp or dandruff because the smell is not very nice. You may try coconut oil. it might help.

I'm no expert but ringworm is a fungus while this spray is more of an antiseptic. I've had success with products for athlete's foot on ringworm if applied several times a day.

Short answer: does NOT work on nails. The package states this. Long answer: I bought this in Sept. 2013. It stated on the packaging that is was not effective for nails, and references treatment for athlete's foot and ringworm. The package picture is misleading. I gave it a try by first filing down my nail and exposing as much of the underlying tissue as possible. This product had no effect on the fungus in my nail bed. I stopped using the Fungi Nail solution in July 2013. For the last year, I have been using only a solution of original flavor Listerine, distilled white vinegar directly after showering and letting it dry on the nail and surrounding tissue. I stuck to this regiment religiously for a full year. I removed and filed down the damaged nail regularly. Additionally, I stopped wearing toenail polish and wore open-toed shoes whenever possible. My nail is now almost fully healed and grown back in normally. Only a very small edge of damaged nail needs to finish growing out.

I have, works great. Try not to get it on your scalp, it will leave residue. :)

This was recommended by my doctor specifically for nail fungus, so I would definitely give it a try. It does take a few months for the nails to completely respond.

It might help but something I know will work is dudley's scalp conditioner. it is good and smells wonderful. I love it.

I wouldn't think it does. You need a topical medication for that. this is a dewormer.

It's for people experiencing scalp problems. My suggestion would be to follow the instructions and try it on a very small patch of hair that's not visible so you can see how your hair or scalp reacts to it.

Don't know....my hair is thin, so I don't have that problem. My guess is probably no......it' formulated for scalps that produce more sebum than normal and works great for that.

This product has stopped my hair fallout significantly and yes my hair has grown back in and is getting longer and fuller. I can only speak for my results and the results my mother has seen, it is working for both of us. So good luck, it is worth trying.

I am not entirely sure it would actually cure the fungus, but I tell you it is so soothing. I love this stuff and soak in it in the tub as often as I can. I dont put a huge amount, way less than a capful. I would definitely soak my sore or infected feet in it. My Aunt in London used it for all sorts of antiseptic purposes. I can attest to Dettol curing a lot of infections in my household.

Hi,I don't know about scalp psoriasis-helps this cream or no,this cream helps skin psoriasis. I have psoriasis on the back and this works. I know for scalp psoriasis another product-http://www.amazon.com/SCALPICIN-Strength-Scalp-Treatment-Ounce/dp/B006SQKIHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1422544562&sr;=8-1&keywords;=scalpicin+maximum+strength+liquid+scalp+itch+treatment. this is hormonal, but is light and works.

To be terribly honest, I don't know, but unless you allergic to sulfites, I would use this as it is the only OTC product that works for me to relieve the itch on my scalp. For me, it's worth whatever risk the sulfites may be.

I am sorry it has taken me so long to answer your question. The list of the ingredients would fill pages. I looked your question up on the internet, and it should help you. What I can tell you is the product has never hurt my scalp. Your scalp will look red in the beginning, but it will be fine. I love the product, and there is improvement, also now my hair has some curl to it. Also ask your hair stylist. That is now I found out about the product.

Its not that great. I didn't see a lot of difference. Also it has a drying effect on scalp and hair, which didn't suit me. So I don't use it anymore. Have tried a few shampoos now, I started using scalpicin for sometime. Now I just use Aveda Scalp balancing shampoo, which doesn't dry my hair and has kept the flakes and itching in check.

I have. It doesn't seem to make a difference. I think Nioxin 3 is a better product though, and that you use on your wet washed scalp.
