Ketozolin 2% Shampoo, 120 ml

Ketozolin 2% shampoo for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and bran fungus

Yeast fungi are natural inhabitants of our skin.However, if they multiply excessively, they can cause inflammation, which manifests itself as redness, flaking, brown spots and itching.In such cases it is referred to as seborrheic dermatitis.Bran fungus can also cause similar reactions.Ketozolin 2% Shampoo helps to rebalance the scalp and relieve discomfort.

Effective relief from dandruff, itching and redness

In seborrheic dermatitis and bran fungus, normally harmless pathogens can multiply unhindered and trigger inflammatory reactions.These manifest themselves as redness, greasy dandruff, itchy scalp and brownish spots.Although these forms of fungus are not contagious, it is important to rebalance the scalp to relieve the discomfort.The active ingredient ketoconazole combats the proliferation of fungal spores, alleviates the accompanying symptoms and prevents the formation of new dandruff.

Ketozolin 2% Shampoo fights the cause instead of just the symptoms

The active ingredient ketoconazole not only relieves the symptoms associated with seborrheic dermatitis or bran fungus, but also combats the cause - the fungus that causes it.This happens by the active ingredient changing the cell membrane of the fungus so that it cannot spread further.This dual mode of action distinguishes Ketozolin 2% shampoo from conventional anti-dandruff shampoos.

What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?

Skin cells have the special property of multiplying throughout life and thus contribute to the regular renewal of the skin.The old skin cells die and are shed as horn cells.These are usually tiny and invisible, but clump together to form visible scales.The skin also produces sebum, which keeps it supple.Too much sebum leads to a shiny fatty film that causes the horny cells to clump together and form visible dandruff.

What is bran fungus?

Bran fungus is a barely contagious fungal disease of the skin that manifests itself in small, scaly, yellowish to brownish patches.These spots are caused by disturbed skin pigment formation and distribution.The spots occur primarily on the neck, chest, back and in areas where skin lies on skin, such as under the armpits or in the groin area.Apart from the spotting, a slight flaking and sometimes a bit of itching, there are no other symptoms of bran fungus.It often occurs in warm climates or during warm seasons.

Causes of dandruff in seborrheic dermatitis

The yeast Malassezia furfur colonizes the skin and is one of the naturally occurring skin germs.In people with a corresponding predisposition, this microorganism can multiply particularly strongly and cause a pronounced inflammatory reaction.It has not yet been conclusively clarified whether there is a connection between a disturbed function of the sebaceous glands and the occurrence of the skin disease.Those affected often find that the disease worsens when they are stressed.Climatic factors such as sea climate and sunlight have a positive effect on the course of the disease.

Causes of bran fungus

The pathogen that causes bran fungus can be found on almost all healthy skin.The exact causes of bran fungus are still unknown, but there are risk factors that promote the transformation from a harmless skin fungus to a pathogenic organism.These include the use of greasy skin creams, heavy sweating, obesity, a weakened immune system, metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and taking certain medications.However, the biggest risk factor is a warm, humid climate combined with heavy sweating.
