I'm dealing with this fungal infection on my scalp and it's showing up as patches everywhere. Can anyone recommend a good antifungal oil or shampoo that could help clear it up?

For fungal infection on the scalp, you can use Ketoconazole shampoo. You can apply it to the affected areas, leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse off. Use it twice a week for 2-4 weeks for best results.

I'm using Benzoyl Peroxide, Benzac AC, Acnicin, Clindamycin, and Adapalene for my skin. I'm a bit confused about how to apply them. Should I be using one at night and the other in the morning, or is it better to alternate between them? Can you help me figure out the best routine?
