The best shampoos for scalp fungus contain antifungal ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc. Here are some good options:
Ketoconazole shampoo (e.g., Nizoral) – Kills fungus and reduces itching.
Selenium sulfide shampoo (e.g., Selsun Blue) – Helps control fungal growth.
Pyrithione zinc shampoo (e.g., Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength) – Reduces flaking and irritation.
Use the shampoo 2-3 times a week and let it sit on your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. If the fungus doesn’t improve, consult a dermatologist. Irvine Skin offers expert scalp treatments for stubborn infections.

Nizoral shampoo is my favorite, however, scalp fungus typically requires oral antifungal medicine. It is best to consult your local Dermatologist.
