Scalpicin Itch Relief is used to relieve scalp itching and irritation associated with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and general scalp dryness or irritation.
The active ingredient in Scalpicin Itch Relief is typically hydrocortisone (1%), a mild topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and suppresses the skin's immune response, thereby relieving itching and discomfort.
For external use on the scalp only; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use on broken or infected skin. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if condition worsens, does not improve after 7 days, or clears and recurs. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use under a tight bandage or cover.
