[|Human|] Is there any old home remedies to aid folliculitis symptoms on my PitBull pup? She was bathed (heavily) with flea shampoo and I know that there is a certain dosage for dogs based on size. I ll need to get her oral antibiotics, however until then is there anything around the home that I can use to aid her skin?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having folliculitis of the scalp following use of the flea shampoo. I suggest you to wash the area regularly and maintain a good hygiene of the scalp. An antifungal shampoo such as ketoconazole shampoo can be used to wash the scalp regularly. A cream containing mild steroid such as cortisone with mupirocin can be applied for few days to reduce the swelling. Do not apply any hair oil or any creamy stuff over the scalp as it causes more aggravation of the problem. You can take further guidance from your treating dermatologist. Thank you.
