The Doctors Top Pick
CLn Healthy Scalp Shampoois the experts top pick for the best shampoo for folliculitis.
Reviewers on Amazon with folliculitis report that it works incredibly well, even when other topical treatments havent.
Relevant review:Finally something that helps.
I have tried everything and battled folliculitis for 10+ years.
Its a constant battle.
One use of this, allow to sit for 5 min and it made a huge difference over night.
At $15 for a 7-ounce bottle, its a pretty great value, too.
This cleared up all the patches I had in my scalp that were itchy.
It worked within a matter of a couple weeks.
You could also use this as a body wash.
The scent is strong but pleasant!
One reviewer wrote:I got this shampoo because every other chemical loaded product did nothing for my folliculitis.

I saw my dermatologist last week and shes going to start recommending it.
One reviewer wrote:I use this for my hair rinse and it is great for sensitive scalps.
I mix 1 part to 5 parts water and add a few drops of argan oil.
