For Tinea Versicolor "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!"

For Seborrheic Dermatitis "Allergist suggested I use for 2 weeks, then go to once or twice a week. Well, the condition returns and returns, and the horrid smell has gotten into everything. The sickening smell is in my jetted tub, towels, shirts, and my neck sweat smells like it."

For Tinea Versicolor "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."

For Tinea Versicolor "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."

For Tinea Versicolor "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."

For Tinea Versicolor "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."
