I have an itchy scaly place that drives me crazy! Since I have a mild exema on my legs and that's what was prescribed for them, looks like I could put the ointment on that one small spot on my head??? The tube says for Jock Itch, Ringworm, and Athlete's Feet.

The reason for not using "Lamisil" on your scalp -
because antifungal creams are unable to penetrate the hair shaft sufficiently to clear the infection. If it's a scalp fungus, it needs a systematic treatment.
For your itchy scalp -
1.mix a solution in a small spray bottle 3/4 apple cider vinegar to 1/4 water....spray and massage onto your scalp, leave it for 30 min, then rinse your hair. you can apply just ACV - no water - with a spray bottle. 2 times a day.
2. use "extra virgin coconut oil" - coconut oil has anti-fungal property.
Massage a small amount onto your scalp, cover your head with a plastic bag. after 30 min. wash your hair.
3. Use a shampoo which has "tea tree oil" in it.

LAMISIL IS A PILL NOT A LOTION OR OINTMENT
