Ketoconazole left on scalp for 7minutes
I use ketoconazole shampoo 2% twice a week for tinea cupitis and male pattern baldness. I take great care to left it on scalp only for 5 minutes. But yesterday because of some reasons I could not rinse it off on time and it remained on my scalp for about 7 minutes. It it safe?
