Accepted Answer

There are a couple of ways you can go

 

Over the counter are 2 shampoos that are called ALa-Seb and a stronger one is DHF 3%. These have salicylic acid liquid in them.

 

Another way would be to get a prescription for the salicylic acid and a steroid compounded in a shampoo by a compounding pharmacist. Some Walgreens have compunding pharmacists which means that they mix the shampoo up there for you.

 

I hope this helps!
