It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and yeast-related skin issues.

How Arcolane Scalp Solution works
Arcolane contains ketoconazole, an antifungal agent that interferes with the production of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell wall becomes weak and breaks down. This leads to the elimination of the fungus. As the fungus dies, symptoms such as redness, itching, and flaking begin to improve. Arcolane is applied directly to the scalp or skin, where it acts locally at the site of infection. It helps maintain antifungal activity over time when used consistently. The solution penetrates the skin or scalp surface and continues working even after rinsing. Regular use reduces fungal overgrowth and prevents reinfection. It is important to complete the full course, even if symptoms improve early.
