Will ciclopirox cream .77 and head and shoulders clinical strength fade scalp micro pigmentation?

January 14, 2016
Asked By:WillCA in Chicago, IL

I had scalp micro pigmentation done about 6 months ago and was just diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. The dermatologist did not know much about SMP even after me explaining. Can the head and shoulders shampoo with the ciclopirox cream she prescribed possibly fade or ruin the treatment? Are there better ways with my situation to treat this and not damage the SMP? The cream contains an alcohol base and I know alcohol does possibly fade treatments.
