Ketoconazole

Ketoconazole is a huge med too, men. Get ready for this antifungal to get rid of pityriasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, and yes, you guessed it, seborrhea! This one's a huge, huge powerhouse! You'll likely get it as a cream. Yes! Apply it to your skin or scalp. Obviously, your skin's got to be clean, not irritated. It can't have an open wound either! You're going to love this one, men. Yes, so many of you will! But hold your horses! Men, this one's not for you if you're allergic to sulfites or other antifungals. You can't take it when you've got asthma either. Make sure you go over this with your doc. Call them up now!

Those side effects? Yes! You know all of them: thinning hair, dry or itchy skin, and hair color or texture changes. Men, you need your doc as soon as you can when you're dealing with shortness of breath on this med! Don't delay in calling them up! Do it for pain where you applied this antifungal too, obviously. And guess what? Avoid the harsh soaps when you're taking this med. Stay out of the sun when you're on it for pityriasis too. There's a game on, so you're ready for that!
