Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Dry, itchy and flaky scalp conditions can have different causes, so obtaining the correct diagnosis is important. Capasal is indicated for scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, severe dandruff and cradle cap. If your symptoms worsen, become painful, show signs of infection or fail to improve after treatment, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
