"I bought over the counter and added 7 drops of tea tree oil, which is an antifungal. I have had this condition for 40 years. I have been to doctors, but I try different methods. This is the first time with Selsun shampoo. I showered and then used the shampoo and left it on for 10 minutes. The itch is already better. It is hard to rate it because it is the first time I used it with the tea tree oil."

"Selsun Blue had been suggested to me by my doctor for tinea versicolor, and as soon as I started using it, I woke up the next day with my 'spots' doubled pretty much. Now I'm so itchy that I can't sleep sometimes."

"I've had some success using Selsun Blue for tinea versicolor. I've had it for years, not knowing what it was, but I pinpointed it. I value the healing that Selsun Blue has done for it, but I really don't like the smell. I leave it on for about a half an hour and shower it off. It hasn't fully gotten rid of it, but it's gotten pretty close."

"The smell is so horrible I can't stand it. Days after using it, and several showers later, you can still smell it when you sweat."

"I've had Tinea Versicolor come and go for a few years now and it has been a pain. I did my research and saw many success stories from using Selsun Blue with 1% selenium sulfide in it. I've only been using it for a day, leaving it on overnight, and I have seen amazing results, it's almost gone! It is also getting rid of my white spots. The only con is that it may burn/itch and can be messy. Other than that, it is a huge success!"
