How do you cure scalp fungus?

my 17 month old has had scalp fungus for a long time now. He has been on medication (grisofulvin) twice. it did not work. any othe ideas?

Try massaging organic coconut oil into his hair and scalp at bedtime along with a couple of drops of grapefruit seed extract. You can find these items in a healthfood store. Get the kind of coconut oil that is located in the food aisles, not the skin care section.

In the morning, shampoo with a very gentle baby shampoo, and don't scrub hard because if the scalp is irritated it will not heal quickly.

Also, it's not typical that a child would have an ongoing fungal problem, so you might want to encourage him to eat yogurt with live cultures every day. Most kids love yogurt with fruit. If your son also has had problems with diaper rash, that could be fungal as well, and you can use an over-the-counter cream for either jock itch or vaginal yeast infections, like Tinactin or Monostat, in the diaper area. To really be successful, fight the fungus anywhere it is.
