What the gurus are saying

Ketoconazole in this shampoo works well enough that some gurus use it beyond the scalp, massaging it onto the body as a maintenance treatment for fungal skin issues like Tinea Versicolor, leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing. However, because these formulas are made for the scalp, they can be harsh on facial or body skin, so daily use may not be ideal. Those wanting to try it on the body or face may want to start cautiously and ease off to once or twice weekly.

"There's a shampoo called Neral shampoo which has an anti-yeast ingredient called ketoconazole. I would just be a little bit cautious because these shampoos are essentially made for the scalp and they could be a little bit harsh for the face. I wouldn't use them every day or maybe just focus on those areas."

"I use the shampoo as a body wash to try to prevent it from coming back. I am somebody who's actually prone to Tinea Versicolor, so I am on this maintenance routine about once a week. When I'm doing my dandruff routine where I'm actually treating my dandruff, I take that dandruff shampoo, usually Neral. I massage it onto my body, I leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes before I wash it off, and that keeps my Tinea Versicolor from coming back."
