When ordinary anti-dandruff shampoos are not enough
Dandruff is a medical condition and not merely a cosmetic one. Therefore, your ordinary anti-dandruff shampoo is not enough. Use medicated shampoos that contain specific anti-infective and anti fungal ingredients to treat conditions affecting the skin and scalp.
Ketoconazole (DERMAZOLE®) and Ketoconazole + Zinc Pyrithione (DERMAZOLE® Plus) shampoos both contain 2% ketoconazole, an antifungal best known for its use in treating dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

DANDRUFF
Dandruff is a common dermatological problem that affects nearly half of the world’s adult population.
Dandruff
Dandruff is a common dermatological problem that affects nearly half of the world’s adult population. Particularly in the Philippines, the warm and humid weather contributes to a higher predisposition with 8 out of 10 Filipinos likely to encounter dandruff at least once in their lifetime. Excessive sweating from the weather and subsequent buildup of oil and dirt on the scalp exacerbates the occurrence of dandruff.
Dandruff results from a combination of three factors:
- A type of fungus called Malassezia, which naturally lives on the skin
- Increased sebum production in the scalp
- Sensitive scalp
Malassezia breaks down the scalp into oleic acid, which may irritate a sensitive scalp, resulting to dandruff.
While the classic sign of dandruff is white flakes, it may also include an itchy, red, or scaly scalp.

SEBORRHEA
Seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition predominantly affecting skin areas rich in sebaceous glands.
Seborrhea
Seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition predominantly affecting skin areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the scalp, face, upper chest and sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears and eyelids.
The root cause of seborrheic dermatitis is complex and multifaceted. Potential contributors include:
- Malassezia: A naturally occurring fungus that can overpopulate and irritate the skin
- Overproduction of sebum or oil
- Inflammation triggered by abnormalities in the immune system
Seborrheic dermatitis manifests in various ways including:
- Flaky skin on the scalp and facial hair
- Greasy skin patches covered with flaky white or yellowish scales or crust
- Ring-shaped rash
- Itchiness

TINEA VERSICOLOR
Tinea versicolor is a common fungal infection that causes white, yellow, red, pink or brown spots on the skin.
Tinea versicolor
Tinea versicolor is a common fungal infection that causes white, yellow, red, pink or brown spots on the skin.
It is caused by an overgrowth of a fungus that’s naturally found on the uppermost layer of the skin. Hot weather, humidity and sun exposure can worsen tinea versicolor. While it isn’t harmful or contagious, it may cause mild itching. The upper chest, back, and shoulders are the most vulnerable areas of the skin.
- Patches of skin discoloration which may be lighter or darker than the surrounding area
- Mild itching
- Flaky scaling
