Q: My daughter has foul smell coming from her head. Her head is washed regularly with J&J shampoo but on examining her scalp, I feel that the base colour is not as it generally should be. Some flakes are also there. What could be the possible cause and remedy for it?
A:The scalp of your daughter seems to be infected -try using valbet cream and use nizral 2 % shampoo.
