Roycederm Tea Tree Antifungal Shampoo and Conditioner Complete Scalp Care Solution for Folliculitis Dry Itchy and Flaky Scalp

Using Roycederm as a skin cleanser is an off-label use, but I noticed that Roycederm has 3% Salicylic Acid, a higher concentration than the best-known brand name of shampoos advertised as using Salicylic Acid. Salicylic Acid is most commonly used for acne, but per Medlineplus: "(Salicylic Acid)...treats other skin conditions by softening and loosening dry, scaly, or thickened skin so that it falls off or can be removed easily." Read the entire article in MedlinePlus (it's a government website; National Institute of Health) and/or check with your physician, because there are contraindications. However, wow. I have had excellent results using this as an "underboob" cleanser, as well as any other skin folds where itchy yeast overgrowth is a problem. I still have to use an antifungal cream, and I use a skin barrier like diaper rash paste with zinc in the summer, but this is a soothing and effective cleanser for places where skin folds over other skin, causing itching, odor, slipperiness, and scaling. I use the Roycederm only on the areas that need it and leave it on while I continue my shampooing and general body cleansing. I rinse off the Roycederm as the last step of showering. It's important to massage the Roycederm onto your wet skin using fingers only. Applying it with a washcloth or anything else scrubby might damage already inflamed skin. I accidentally learned that if I wash my underarms with Roycederm I can go without deodorant. Go cautiously if you decide to try this. This is effective at my level of activity and without using deodorant over it. If I ran track or was effected by upsetting conditions that cause "stress sweat", I wouldn't want to rely on it. Also, I wouldn't want to put deodorant over the area I've washed with the Roycederm because both products have active ingredients and I have no idea what the reaction might be. For my specific conditions, it works to retard underarm odor and I was delighted and surprised to make this discovery. So: please check my information with your physician for using this as the off-label use, but know that this is a great shampoo. My husband has stopped scratching, and his hair is soft and glossy.

I’ve been dealing with scalp folliculitis for 3 years. Tender and extremely itchy bumps All over my scalp! Have tried so many things with little to no improvement. Been using this shampoo for 6 weeks. My scalp is slowly but gradually improving. The bumps are much smaller and much less itchy. It has 3% salicylic which helps to exfoliate the scalp and you log follicles. I use it 3-4 X a week. It’s important to leave it in for several minutes. when I have time I’ll leave on for longer. What I really like about it is that it doesn’t dry out my scalp/ hair. My hair feels soft and bouncy afterwards. Win win! I have come to terms with the fact it may never go away and this will be my permanent maintenance to keep it to a minimum. I had acne in my 20’s -30’s and I had to always keep up on my skincare or it would return. Same idea with the folliculitis. Read more
